By Salihu Abdullahi Osuko
***
As the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) navigates its future trajectory, emphasizing national influence and internal cohesion, the moment has arrived for a seasoned, dependable, and visionary leader to guide its destiny: Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura.

A former governor of Nasarawa State and a current statesman distinguished by his exemplary record of inclusive governance, Senator Al-Makura embodies the ideal blend of experience, discipline, and progressive ideology that the APC requires at this pivotal juncture. His leadership approach has consistently demonstrated humility, strategic foresight, and a results-driven methodology – attributes indispensable for leading a party of the APC’s stature.

During his tenure as governor, Nasarawa State underwent significant infrastructural transformation, educational reforms, and enhanced governance. He is one of the select few founding fathers of the APC who has remained unwaveringly loyal to the party’s principles. His dedication to unity, equity, and party discipline is exemplary in a political landscape frequently marred by personal ambitions.

The APC necessitates a national chairman capable of consolidating its achievements, mediating internal disputes, and fortifying grassroots support in anticipation of future elections. Senator Al-Makura is not merely a consensus-builder; he serves as a bridge between the party’s foundational vision and its future aspirations.

The time for deliberation has elapsed. The moment of decision has arrived. Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura is the leader the APC needs.
