• APC Chairman Ganduje urges traders’ support for party’s victory in Bayelsa, Imo, Kogi elections; emphasizes security and economic growth
• Ganduje encourages traders to collaborate with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to enhance trade environment, infrastructure in Abuja

Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged traders to work for the party’s victory in the November governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi.

Ganduje stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working hard to ensure the country’s security as part of efforts to foster economic activity.

On Tuesday in Abuja, members of the Arewa Traders Association from the 19 northern states and the FCT paid him a congratulatory visit at the APC national secretariat, led by their chairman, Alhaji Adam Hassan Ibrahim.

Ganduje, a former Kano State governor, said traders were critical to the party’s success in the three off-season elections and urged them to rally support for the party.

He also urged traders to work with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to transform Nigeria’s capital.

The former governor stated that Wike’s agenda includes improving the transportation system and security in the FCT, as well as providing lighting and other engagements required to boost trading and other economic activities.

He said;

I assure you, Mr. President is providing an enabling environment for you to do your legitimate activities. He is working very hard on the security of this nation. We all know how important security is to traders because if there is no security, there is no trade, no marketing, and most importantly, no feeding.

So, you know and likely enough, you have a competent Honorable Minister of the FCT, the former governor of River State, Nyesom Wike, who came from a big city himself, but has now gotten another mandate of administering another big city, the FCT. So, I urge you to cooperate with him so that he can create a decent environment for commercial activities in the megacity of Abuja.
