The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Plateau State Chapter, Hon. Rufus Bature has described the nomination of the former Governor of Plateau State, Barrister Simon Lalong, for ministerial position is a reward for hard work, determination, consistency, resilience and above all, loyalty.
Bature in a statement signed by the party publicity secretary, Hon. Slyvanus Namang, said the choice of the former governor who is the leader of the party in the state, is apt and is a source of pride and joy to the entire APC family in the state which he serves as its rallying point.
He said, “Simon Bako Lalong, in spite of all odds, weathered the storm as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and ensured the resounding victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima which is not a mean feat.”
Hon Rufus Bature is full of appreciation to Mr President for making this wise choice and assured him that going by Lalong’s pedigree and trajectory, he is going to find him a great asset and stabiliser in the Federal Executive Council.
Bature added that he has no doubt that Lalong will be expeditiously cleared by the Senate during his turn of the ongoing screening exercise.
