LAGOS – The National Director of Strategy, Deployment and Implementation for the Relax, Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria initiative, Amb. David Hakim, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to unite under the leadership of Cross River State Governor, Bassey Edet Otu, describing him as a stabilising force for the party in the South-South region.
Hakim made the call during the just-concluded South-West Zonal Unity Walk held in Lagos State, where key party stakeholders gathered to mobilise grassroots support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and promote awareness of ongoing reforms.
Speaking alongside the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, and other party leaders, Hakim emphasised the need for cohesion within the APC, noting that unity remains critical to sustaining the party’s dominance and delivering on its promises to Nigerians.
He commended Governor Otu for what he described as “giant strides” in governance and party leadership, asserting that his performance has positioned him as a rallying point for the APC in the South-South.
“Governor Otu has demonstrated exemplary leadership both in governance and party administration. The APC in the South-South must consolidate its gains by rallying behind him,” Hakim stated.
The APC chieftain further urged party faithful in Cross River State and across the region to support Otu’s second-term bid, stressing that continuity in leadership would deepen development gains and strengthen the party’s structure at the grassroots.
Hakim also called on stakeholders to intensify efforts in promoting the achievements of the Tinubu administration, noting that many Nigerians are yet to fully grasp the impact of key economic and policy reforms.
According to him, citizen engagement and the dissemination of verified information are essential in building public trust and reinforcing support for government initiatives.
In his address the Deputy Governor of Lagos state, Obafemi Hamzat, urged Nigerians to continue backing the administration’s efforts to stabilise the economy, enhance security, and drive infrastructure development across the country.
The Unity Walk, which drew participation from party leaders and supporters across the South-West, forms part of broader mobilisation efforts aimed at strengthening party cohesion and expanding its support base nationwide.
