Story from Najib SANI, Bauchi

A group known as the ‘APC North East Youth, Women and Persons with Disability’ have applauded President Muhammadu Buhari for his administration in the northeast.

Addressing a press conference in Bauchi, the coordinator of the group, Adamu Musa Abubakar, also applauded the President for the establishment of the North-East Development Commission (NEDC), commitment to oil and gas exploration in Kolmani and other places in Bauchi and Gombe states.

Other activities he enumerated are the ongoing Mambila hydropower project in Taraba state and improving the fight against Boko Haram insurgents.

He urged the federal government to also implement the eastern corridor rail project from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri.

Similarly, the group have applauded the National Caretaker Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni, who is a son of the region for his achievements as leader of the party.

The group particularly hailed Buni for building consensus among party members by setting up reconciliation committees at different levels of the party and in different states.

He said Mr Buni should also be commended for facilitating the defection of three governors from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to APC and other heavyweight politicians and the ‘peaceful conduct of the ongoing party congresses’.

These achievements by the two APC leaders he opined would help the party to retain power beyond 2023.
