A group,the National Progressives Youth Forum(NPYF) in Ondo state has given reasons why it is supporting the governorship ambition of Barrister Sola Iji undet the platform of All Progressives Congress(APC).
The group in a statement signed by its Ondo state Coordinator,Hon.Niyi Adeola, said the Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Togo is a thorough-bred politician ,lawyer and administrator,who is imbued with the passion to unite members of the ruling APC in the state.
The group noted that unity is sacrosanct in any political party especially in Ondo APC to bring together all aggrieved members back into the fold ahead of the October 10 poll,which is the main focus of Ambassador Iji.
NPDF noted that Ambassador Iji has enviable political pedigree,having served in various offices since the days of the defunct Social Democratic Party(SDP) and at different times was the state chairman of Alliance for Democracy(AD)Action Congress(AC) and Action Congress of Nigeria(ACN).
The statement reads” We must consider two factors that are germane for any politician to govern successfully,these are ability to unite members of the party and at the same time make himself accessible to the citizenry.
The Youth forum pointed out that Ambassador Iji has the wherewithal to consolidate members of the party ahead of its primary.
It stressed that youth as a crucial weapon for any electoral process will fully work with Iji’s campaign organisation to facilitate the desired victory.
NPYF which has its membership across the 18 local government areas of the state and across the country promised to sesitize more people on the need to give full support to the lawyer-cum politician for the exalted office.
