The Former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Umar Ganduje, to relay the true state of the country to President Bola Tinubu. Fayemi emphasized the need for the party to provide feedback from communities and constituencies, urging transparency in communication.
Fayemi made these remarks on Tuesday during the public presentation of the book “APC & Transition Politics,” authored by Salihu Lukman, the former vice-chairman of the party in the north-west, in Abuja.
Addressing party members, Fayemi stressed the importance of the APC actively fulfilling its manifesto and playing a central role in policy-making rather than being a mere spectator.
“I am happy that our chairman is here. This is the party that should not be a spectator in policy making,” Fayemi stated.
He further highlighted the significance of the party being the channel through which feedback from communities and constituencies reaches President Tinubu. Fayemi expressed concern that relying solely on information from the presidential villa might not capture the true sentiments of the people.
“All of us have occupied public office, and we know how it can be. I am happy our chairman has confirmed he has read the book,” Fayemi added.
He urged party members, especially those in leadership positions, to consider the book as essential reading. Fayemi believes that understanding the content of the book, authored by Lukman, is crucial for initiating the rebuilding process of the party at the state and ward levels. Fayemi commended Ganduje for his commitment to the organic growth of the APC.
