SAMAILA ALIYU: APC’s right peg in the right hole

 

 

The recent emergence of Hon. Samaila Aliyu (SA) as the substantial Treasurer of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kaduna State no doubt is a masterstroke of the party not only in the state but at the national body as well.  It is what could rightly be defined or described as placing the right peg prudently into the right hole given his background as an astute financial expert and reputable banker, this including his wealth of experience as a public servant, notable as a commissioner of finance and member of Kaduna State Executive Council.

It is no wonder that notable political stakeholders like the APC Promoters group quickly hailed his nomination and subsequent emergence as the party’s state treasurer and a newly elected Executive Member of the party. The group had in a statement by its convener Bashir Bello, proudly commended his materialization as the party treasurer. 

‘’ "The nomination and affirmation of Honourable Samaila Aliyu as the State APC Treasurer and member of the working committee is highly commendable. We are using this medium to congratulate him and other executives, led by Air Commodore Emmanuel Jekada (Rtd) as State chairman.  We are optimistic that their executive committee will further strengthen the party's chances at the 2023 polls," the statement said’’ He said.

 This apt political move by the state party machinery has further strengthened the power of the APC in Kaduna state and sensibly placed it in a viable position of maintaining its financial prudence and judiciously utilizing its resources to its advantage and betterment.  With a prudent management of its financial base, it would attract financial stability and political leverage over the opposition as the 2023 elections draws closer.

The APC Promoters positively expressed this posture when they said: "We are optimistic that their executive committee will further strengthen the party's chances at the 2023 polls,"

 

Now that the APC in Kaduna State has a very round peg in a round hole, it is believe that the emergence of Samila Aliyu as one of the Executive Members of the party would no doubt rejuvenate its position , especially in the grassroots where he is reputed to be a thoroughbred grassroots political mobilizer.
