A former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has said the newly elected members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not disappoint the party, but work hard to deliver on their mandate.

Adamu stated this at the Eagle Square, Abuja, while delivering his acceptance speech on behalf of the newly elected National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

The Senator, who was Chairman of the APC National Reconciliation Committee, said there was the need for party members to renew their faith in APC, its leadership and Constitution at all levels in order to herald a new dawn.

The lawmaker, who emerged following President Muhammadu Buhari’s endorsement, said the aspirants who did not succeed would realise their ambition to serve the party and country in God’s time.

“We accept the onerous responsibility that you have placed on our shoulders and we will work hard to ensure that we fulfill your expectations for the greater good of our great party and of our dear country.”

“I promise you here and now that we shall heal any wounds in our party; we shall effect lasting reconciliation among our members, and we shall go into the next general elections as a strong and united party. I offer my hands of friendship to all our members. I want to assure you that my colleagues and myself will run an open door policy to all members of the party.

“As politicians we are not strangers to gains, losses and disappointments with the outcome of every political contest. Let us show maturity and good sportsmanship and accept the outcome of this Convention with grace.

“Our party needs all hands on the steering wheel so that together we can steer the ship of state through the inclement weather of our divisive national politics to the promised land.

“As we conclude this very successful convention of our great party, I know that our opponents in PDP and other opposition parties are now sulking, wearing long faces of sadness, bewilderment and dismay. They had been hoping and praying to make a fortune out of our misfortunes. They were also hoping and praying to capitalize on assumed failures of our party to reap political benefits.

“We must resist the temptation to blow every minor personal disagreement into a major party crisis. It is time for us to do things differently. When we quarrel, we open our flanks to our rival political parties that are only too eager to exploit them for their own benefit.

“APC is set to do much, much more when Nigerians continue to bestow on us their love, support and confidence in next year’s general elections,” he said.
