“Bwacha is relatively new to the party but he has come with full force and determination to uplift the party in the state.
“This donation of 16 Volkswagen Sharon vehicles for each of the local government APC offices and Ñ50,000 each for fuelling of the vehicles is a gesture we are truly grateful for.
“This is a challenge to other party members. Your donations and support are very important for the survival of the party as the main opposition in the state.
“We have just taken our oath of office and I assure you that we would be fair to all members. We must set aside our differences and work for the common good of the party and our collective success”, El-Sudi explained.
El-Sudi clarified that they had to go on with the inauguration of the party executives despite the ongoing litigation by some aggrieved members of the party in the state, saying the party had appealed the case and obtained a stay of execution of the earlier judgement.
Earlier, Mr Illiyasu Kirim, Director General of the Bwacha campaign organisation who presented the vehicles on behalf of the senator, said that the vehicles were to ease movements for the officials at the local government levels.
He urged the party members in the state to close ranks and work towards achieving the ultimate target of the party in the state.
