The APC Chairman in Plateau State, Hon. Rufus Bature has warned the main opposition party against stereotyping the All Progressives Congress.
Bature gave the warning at the party’s secretariat while receiving in audience Dr Patrick Dakum, one of the gubernatorial aspirants under the APC, who paid him a courtesy call at the party’s secretariat.
According to the Chairman, the APC is a party for all Nigerians and no amount of name calling or profiling would change the narrative.
“APC is a national party for all Nigerians including Plateau state and no one can reverse that fact”.
He dismissed the continuous blackmail by the PDP in the state that the APC is a party for adherence of a particular religion which is a cheap and dangerous propaganda.
“What the people of Plateau state need most is the delivery of the dividends of democracy and uniting them which the governor is doing, but is being distracted by agents of disunity.
The APC Chairman in the State decried the continuous lamentation by nay sayers who have refused to see anything good in whatever the governor is doing for the people of Plateau state.
He said while the APC strongly believes in constructive criticism which is healthy for the growth of democracy, we must respect our leaders who are entrusted with the responsibility to rule by God.
“When you are not on the seat, it is easy to criticise but we must be careful not to equate lies and with the truth.
He reiterated the party’s position of working earnestly towards installing an APC government back to back to break the jinx of the ruling party not installing successor from the same party.
He emphasised his commitment to discipline and inclusiveness in running the affairs of the party in the state.
While welcoming the APC gubernatorial aspirant to the party’s secretariat, he revealed that Dr Patrick Dakum was the first to pay such visit amongst all the aspirants under the party’s banner.
He assured him that the party is going to provide a level playing field for all the gubernatorial aspirants under the APC.
