Consider for appointment those who worked for the Party’s victory— Bayelsa APC support Group
The dissolved Tinubu/Shettima Independent Campaign Council, (ICC), Bayelsa chapter, hsa urged the President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider for appointment those who contributed to the victory of the All Progressives Congress APC, and not those who contributed next to nothing.
Pastor Joseph Fafi, the Director Finance, Tinubu/Shettima Independent Campaign Council, stated this during a press briefing.
He said that the ICC was formed to amongst other things to effectively sell the Tinubu/Shettima ticket by engaging in one-on-one Campaigns with the electorate at the grassroots.
According to him, the ICC in Bayelsa state under the leadership of Mr Preye Aganaba, painstakingly set up the required structure up to the units. Which work hard to produced the result we had.
He said: “While we acknowledge the immense contributions of some individuals especially in Ogbia and Member Local Government Areas of the State.
“Even in those areas, the ICC was the most visible campaign outfit reaching to the grassroots in the state.
“It is based on the forgoing that we have invited you to express our worry at the actions of some highly placed individuals both within and outside the state in recommending persons who contributed next to nothing for appointments.
“There are those whose sense of entitlement is only based on friendship to those at the corridor of power and not on effective participation.
“We have seen in the past few days persons and groups, even those who sat in their air-condition offices throughout the campaign period making unsubstantiated claims,” he said.
Fafi who was a former Chairman of the APC in Bayelsa state further said that the action is taken in the state to avoid the mistakes of the past, where people who are complete strangers to the party are appointed into offices and immediately turn their back on the party. It’s the party that suffers at the end of the day.
” Those who we campaigned to in creeks and villages are eagerly waiting for the fulfillment of promises that were made.
“We are therefore appealing to Mr President to give priority to members of ICC in Bayelsa state in the ongoing recruitment process,” he said.
