According to Osaseyi, the APC campaign team successfully engaged with several influential individuals during their visit, including Mrs. Folashade Joseph, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Commission (NAIC); Olorundare Sunday Thomas, the Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM); and Abdul-Ganiyu Obatoyinbo Ph.D, FIMC, MNI, the Administrator/CEO of the Public Service Institute of Nigeria (PSIN).
He said each of these stakeholders holds significant positions that contribute to Nigeria’s socio-economic growth.
“The visit of the APC Ijumu LGA Campaign Council demonstrated the party’s commitment to reaching out to prominent personalities in order to consolidate support and secure a successful victory in the upcoming governorship election.
“This approach underscores the council’s understanding of the immense contributions these individuals have made to the growth and development of Kogi State,” he said.
Osaseyi, flanked by members of the campaign council, including Sunday Faleke, Omofaiye Victor, Yahaya Ismail, Esemikose Femi and Amodu Ibikunle Abubakar, expressed his gratitude to the stakeholders for their warm reception and promised that their support would be met with good governance, effective policies, and inclusive leadership.
“The overarching theme of the visit was the need for continuity in governance, with an emphasis on sustaining the laudable legacies of Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
“The APC campaign team made a compelling argument that the party’s governorship candidate possesses the vision, competence, and dedication to building on the achievements of the current administration, which has transformed various sectors of Kogi State.
“As the campaign council intensifies efforts to win the hearts and minds of the people, the visit to key stakeholders in Abuja served as a pivotal moment, bolstering the confidence of the APC and its candidate, who collectively recognize the impact of strong partnerships in driving meaningful change.”
