The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended its National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, for strengthening democratic structures and participatory politics with utmost fidelity in the country.
The National Working Committee (NWC), leaders, members and supporters of the ruling party felicitated with Oshiomhole on his 68th birthday on Friday, describing his commitment to the defence of common man as unrivaled in the country.
The party, in the birthday congratulatory message in Abuja on Friday by it’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said Oshiomhole has been living a life of service to mankind.
Eulogising the Chairman, the statement reads, “On this special day, we salute our Comrade Chairman, who in his entire public service to this great country, has demonstrated doggedness, steadfastness and pro-masses disposition in his actions and utterances.
“As the National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole fought for and defended the interests of Nigerian workers and the masses with an uncommon commitment.
“In his services to the people of Edo State as governor, Comrade Oshiomhole, once again, demonstrated that public service can only be meaningful if it is deployed for the benefit of the people”.
The party then acknowledged with pride the energy and commitment with which Comrade Oshiomhole has been propagating the mantra of “One Man, One Vote”, even before joining party politics.
The statement commended the team work spirit of Oshiomole which it noted helped to ensure the renewal of the party’s presidential mandate in the 2019 elections, adding that the Chairman has displayed high sense of committment to the strengthen of democratic structures and participatory politics with utmost fidelity to the best practices and in line with the party’s constitution.
“It is on record how the National Chairman effectively mobilised leaders, members and apparatus of our great party to ensure the emergence of the current leadership of the National Assembly, a development which, in no small measures, has smoothened the engagement between the executive and legislative arms and enhance governance processes.
“While wishing our Comrade Chairman many more years of exemplary service to our party and our nation, we wish him a happy birthday and many happy returns.”
