Former Speaker Yusuf Zailani Follows In Vincent Ogbulafor’s  Footsteps, Says APC ‘ll Rule Nigeria For 60 Years

Hon Yusuf Ibrahim Zailani , who was the  Speaker of Kaduna state House of Assembly until June this year, has  bragged about  the APC being the ruling party in the country and   asserted that Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has what it takes to make the party remain in government for more than 60 years.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Zailani said this  when he led a delegation of former House of Representatives members on a solidarity visit to Ganduje at the national secretariat  of the party in Abuja on Thursday.

Zailani has followed in Vincent Ogbulafor’s footsteps.

Late Chief Ogbulafor, who was then the PDP National Chairman, had in December 2008  said the PDP would rule the country for at least 60 years because of the party’s good policies and programmes but the party however lost the control of the Federal government in  2015.

Zailani submitted on Thursday that  the APC under Ganduje’s leadership  will remain popular for a long time.

 ‘We have no doubt in our mind that you (Ganduje) will lead this party and make it continue to  form government in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for more than 60 years. We know you can do it and we have absolute confidence that you can do it. As you can see, we are representing the country because all the six geopolitical zones are adequately represented here.

We may not be in the House of Representatives now. But we want to tell you that all of us have the energy, the vision and the interest of the party at heart, so we are offering ourselves for any party assignments.

With this, we know from one of us, you may have a special place for either the legislators or former members of our forum because we saw what you have done with one of our members who was your immediate past commissioner for finance. We want you to do more by possibly picking one of our ladies to work within the APC. We will continue to pray for you to show our solidarity and our support’ he said.

While appreciating the friendly  gesture, Ganduje urged the delegation to consistently execute every constituency project promised to their people, calling these the dividends of democracy that people at the grassroots often identify with.

‘It is your responsibility to consolidate the National Assembly, whether you are inside or outside. The psychological thing that binds you together should continue. That is why we are so happy with the legislative projects in their constituencies, even though some may ask why constituency projects. But an ordinary voter, even though your main function is to make laws and oversight functions, will like to see something on the ground.

He doesn’t think about how legislation is affecting his life or how oversight function is affecting his life. But he can easily see a constituency project whether it is a borehole, whether the building of a school building or clinic and so many other things. So we think it is very important, whether you’re from third, fourth and fifth legislature, to see to your constituency project when you are elected. You will feel very happy and satisfied’ he submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
