October 10, (THEWILL) – President Muhammadu Buhari has challenged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Women Presidential Campaign Team to work hard in ensuring victory for the party in the 2023 general elections.
The president, who made the call at the inauguration of the APC Women team in Abuja on Monday, said the call had become imperative because there was no alternative to APC electoral victory in the 2023 presidential election.
The team is headed by the wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari.
Represented at the forum by his Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, the president urged members of the team to take the party to greater heights by developing and implementing a collective party strategy for the elections.
He described the inauguration of the committee as the most crucial component of the 2023 campaign.
President Buhari said: “To this end, I call on all members of this committee to take on this great responsibility as a testament to your selfless service to the APC.
“I strongly believe that this committee will take the APC to greater heights by developing and implementing a collective and inclusive party strategy to ensure the APC victory in the 2023 election because there is no alternative to our victory.”
The president, who congratulated all members of the committee and the leadership of the party for the laudable initiative, wished the team a successful campaign season.
He, however, warned that the team must always be guided by the fact that their mission would involve going around the whole wards in the 774 Local Government Areas of the Federation campaigning for the party.
Reminding the team of the enormity of the task ahead, he said, “The mission that lies ahead for the committee is very clear, and time is not on your side. As this lunch is being hosted in Abuja, we must remember that the real work lies in far places, away from Abuja.
“The task at hand lies in over 1,000 wards and 774 local governments across the country where a party faithful will have to make a case before fellow citizens on our party’s candidate by articulating the vision and the programme for the country.
”The campaign should therefore resist the temptation for it to be turned into an Abuja activity.”
