Sen. Olajide Ipinsagba, representing Ondo North Senatorial District, has commended President Bola Tinubu for his exemplary leadership and political wisdom in the conduct of the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary election.

Ipinsagba, who said this in a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday in Akure, described the primary process as a reflection of the president’s commitment to democracy, fairness and party cohesion.

The Newsmen report that the APC senatorial primary election was held on May 18.

“Tinubu has, once again, demonstrated exemplary leadership and political wisdom through the conduct of the recent APC nomination process.

“The exercise reflects his unwavering commitment to democracy, fairness and the unity of our great party.

“I also commend the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) for ensuring a transparent and credible exercise.

“The primary reflected the wishes of party stakeholders and reinforced confidence in the internal democratic mechanisms of our party.

“I also express my gratitude to the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his support during the exercise, his steadfast commitment to the progress and unity of the party, and Ondo State.

“The overwhelming support demonstrated throughout the primary process has further strengthened my resolve to continue providing quality representation, promoting people-centred legislation and attracting impactful development projects to our district,” he said.

According to Ipinsagba, the outcome of the primary should serve as a rallying point for all our members, hence, they should unite behind the party ahead of future elections.

“I urge everyone to close ranks, embrace reconciliation and work collectively towards securing greater victories for APC in future elections.

“Unity remains the strongest pillar for sustaining our electoral successes and delivering the dividends of democracy to our people,” he said.

The senator pledged to remain accessible to his constituents and continue to pursue policies that would promote socio-economic development, improve infrastructure, empower youths and women, and enhance the welfare of the people.

He also called on Nigerians to continue supporting President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“I am confident that the Renewed Hope Agenda will continue to deliver policies that promote national development, economic prosperity and enduring peace across Nigeria,” Ipinsagba said.
