Danjuma Goje
Senator
Danjuma Goje’s decision to withdraw from the 9th Senate Presidency
contest in support of the Party’s endorsed candidate, Senator Ahmad
Lawan has been commended by his party the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
The
party also commend the fatherly role played by President Muhammadu
Buhari in ensuring compliance with party decisions and directives.
Goje,
according to a statement issued by Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu,
National Publicity Secretary of the party has demonstrated
himself as a reliable, committed party leader, good role model and
elder statesman.
“We
believe that Goje’s selfless actions typify APC’s progressive
ideals and should be emulated by all party members to ensure unity,
strength and supremacy of our great party. There is no doubt that the
majority APC caucus is going into the incoming 9th National
Assembly as a united house.”
On
the sponsored reports against Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the party’s
candidate for the Speakership position, 9th House of
Representatives, that he was ‘convicted’ by a Court in the United
States of America, the party urged Nigerians to ignore the phantom
and infantile allegations.
“The
allegations have become a reoccurring fabrication. Nigerians will
recall that the same baseless allegation were made against
Gbajabiamila in the leadup to the 8th National Assembly speakership
race and came to naught. It needs restating that Gbajabiamila has
never been convicted for any crime in Nigeria and abroad.
“We
urge Gbajabiamila and his vibrant campaign team to remain focused on
their extensive countywide consultation and engagements which has
been well-received and endorsed across party lines.
“Ahead
of the June 11 inauguration of the 9th National Assembly, we urge all
APC federal lawmakers to rally around the candidatures of Senator
Ahmad Lawan, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila and all our candidates for the
respective principal positions.”
