The All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Council’s Director-General, Dr Samuel Oluseyi Bamigbade hailed the choice of Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong as Director General for Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Organization.
He described his appointment as a great blessing to the party, stressing the governor would bridge the religious gaps and lead the party to victory.
Bamigbade in a statement made available to journalists argued that the choice of appointing him for the position has shown that APC is fully prepared for the 2023 general election.
“We in APC Professionals council hailed the choice of appointing Governor Lalong as the DG. He is the most competent and fit to lead the campaign of the APC presidential candidate.
“Governor Lalong is a detribalised, resourceful, ingenious and practical politician, an adept listener and a leader with the knack for getting results where others cannot succeed.
“I wish to heartily congratulate my leader and governor, the Executive Governor of Plateau state, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Simon Lalong on his well-deserved appointment and unveiling as the Director General of the Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign.
“Governor Lalong has over the years proven beyond reasonable doubts that he is a unifier, a strategist, a mobiliser, a team-player, and a leader par excellence,”  Bamigbade, added.
It would be recalled that, Governor Lalong was  unveiled to President Muhammadu Buhari in Presidential Villa by the trio of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Kashim Shetima, and Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, the presidential flag bearers and APC national chairman, respectively, to the warm embrace of good wishers who came out in their thousands across party lines to welcome him, it was obvious that the APC has been recharged for greater things ahead.
