All Progressives Congress’ (APC) national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has said his emergence was ordained by God.
Speaking shortly after he assumed duty at APC secretariat on Wednesday in Abuja, Adamu said becoming the APC chairman was not on his agenda until few weeks ago.
He said, “A month ago, I didn’t know I would become the chairman of APC. Here I am today, receiving the instrument and authority from the outgoing chairman. Only God can do this.
‘It is not my personal wisdom nor my charisma. It is not personal doings. There may be elements on the way but all this was made possible by the endorsement of Almighty God .
“Let me thank President Muhammadu Buhari who gave us a lot and so much that happened during the National Convention.
“I want to say on behalf of the new NWC that it is not going to be an easy time for us. We have a major event that is going to test the water on how stable we are as a party. That is the general election that is coming.
“We will work day and night. We have less than 12 months to face the general election. So, everybody should buckle up. The little I have heard about the President is that he has a complete allergy to failure. So, failure will not be in APC from today. We will work for success together. To my colleagues, if there is an issue, don’t begrudge me, let me know.
“I promise you in the spirit of collective leadership that team is the only way. I cannot deliver alone. What I am asking for is something called ‘loyalty’. You have to be loyal. You must have one team.
“If you bring divisive tendency, we will deal with it. This country is greater than any one of us. And this party is bigger than any single member of this party.”
