Tanko Al-Makura, fondly called Ta’al, has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Nasarawa State to avoid rumour-mongering and come together as one family if they love the state and the party.
Ta’al made the call while delivering his speech at the reception organized in honour of the state party chairman, Hon. Aliyu Bello.
Al-Makura warned that the party would only fail if there was no unity among its members.
“I call on us to please continue to work together. Let’s avoid rumour-mongering, let’s avoid anything that will bring disunity amongst ourselves.
“We have been together, we are together, and if we love this state, if we love this party, we should continue to be together as one strong, united family,” he said.
He also applauded the leadership style of the APC Chairman.
He hailed Bello’s vast experience in politics and administration, stating his invaluable contributions to the growth and development of the party.
“We are very lucky to have, at this stage of the development of the party, someone like Aliyu Bello. This is someone who has cut his teeth in political activities and administration for so many decades,” he said.
Al-Makura described Bello’s role as a unifying force within the party, pointing out his philanthropic activities, which he believes will garner support for the party across diverse segments of Nasarawa state.
“Starting during student life and when he got into the party mainstream, he has always participated as an insider, a team player, a very faithful friend to all and sundry. To add all, his philanthropic activities will be a plus for his position as the Chairman because it will galvanize support across the board for our party.
“Aliyu Bello has been an engine room of many political activities with the coming of the APC, Aliyu Bello now became the engine room of APC in Nasarawa State,” he concluded.
