A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dame (Mrs.) Lucy Omesefe Ajayi, has said that what stands Umaru Tanko al-Makura from the pack is his humility, accessibility.
Another thing she said the ex-governor has going for him is his knack for innovation and concluded that if elected the national chairman of the ruling party will no longer be bereft of innovation.
‘I have also worked with him for six months during the merger of the legacy parties to form the APC and I saw humility personified. An intelligent and a team worker. As a sitting governor then, he was very accessible and accommodating. I also say the sincere feeling trying to make a better Nigeria. He is well experienced in the politics of Nigeria, Omosefe Ajayi who is the immediate past CEO/executive director of Lagos International TradeFare Complex said in a WhatsApp chat with us.
She assured that as Al-Makura is one that loves innovation and brilliant people, he is sure to surrender himself with egg-heads that will assist him in making the party an envy of all in Africa.
Al-Makura according to her, exudes simplicity and one needs to spend a few hours with him to notice that; coupled with his accommodating and pan-Nigerian nature
According to Ajayi who was also the former Kosofe Local Government Area party Chairman for defunct Congress for Progressive (CPC), with the qualities highlighted above, the former governor is the only candidate for the chairmanship position that has all it takes to further unite the party at this time of Nigeria’s journey into the land of politics and governance.
She, however, regretted the happenings in the party at present saying ” I don’t like what is happening around the convention but it will be resolved by God’s grace. The hardest part was when the merger was almost consummated, the same confusion came up but we surpassed it too. So I known definitely well that the convention will hold.
