Asiwaju
Tinubu charged them to rededicate themselves to the party and work to take it
to the new level, saying winning all political contests became a hallmark of
the party in Lagos.
He thanked
the outgoing executives led by Chief Henry Ajomale for their unparallel
stewardship that saw the party grow stronger, broader and more relevant. He
commended them for steady way they led the party maintaining party discipline
and cohesion through the years.
“The
outgoing executives led by Chief Ajomale did a wonderful job. He led the party
with a unity of purpose underpinned by the spirit of inclusiveness and purpose.
Under them we never lost any election. We will not lose any election but this
depends on how you handle your new responsibilities,” he said.
On the issue
of the congress conducted, Asiwaju Tinubu said it was conducted in line with
the guiding laws of the party.
“The people
who own the party have spoken and chosen their leaders. The success of the
congress held confirms the tradition of robust democracy and consensus-building
that has brought progressive development to our state”.
Tinubu said the
new chairman of the party in the state, Alhaji Tunde Balogun, was no stranger
to him and no stranger to responsibility, adding that as Commissioner under his
administration, he performed well.
The APC
national leader expressed confidence in his ability to lead the party and to deliver
the good.

party to the next level.
He commended
the Senator Uche Ekwunife, who led the state Congress Organising Committee, and
her team for conducting a free, fair and transparent exercise and for
demonstrating commitment to the progress and success of the party.
