Mr. Silas Agara, National Coordinator of the Tinubu/Shettima Grassroots Independent Campaign Council (TSGICC), expressed confidence that Sen. Bola Tinubu’s administration would prioritize good governance in Nigeria. Agara made this statement during a ceremony held in Abuja on Thursday to mark the dissolution of the council.

According to Agara, building a successful nation requires the collective effort of Nigerians who are committed to progress. He highlighted that the TSGICC was a unique grassroots-based campaign initiative created by Tinubu to drive campaigns that have a significant impact.

Agara commended the President-elect for giving his team the opportunity to work towards his victory in the polls. He praised the strategic and innovative approach of the TSGICC in executing its grassroots campaign with widespread appeal.

“We do not take the opportunity for granted, we shall live to cherish it forever,” he said.

Furthermore, he mentioned that the dissolution of the TSGICC coincided with the disbandment of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), which was established in September 2022 to lead the party’s campaign for the presidential elections.

“The TSGICC was specifically set up shortly after the emergence of the PCC to complement it by driving the campaigns to the nooks and crannies of the country, especially in the grassroots.

“By this dissolution of the TSGICC, further execution of its plans, policies and programmes contained in its operational document is hereby dissolved,”Agara said.

He expressed his satisfaction with the TSGICC’s many achievements, saying that the party’s leadership had reviewed its operations. This includes its persistent door-to-door campaigns conducted by its directorates, departments, support groups, members, and millions of foot soldiers across the country, which ultimately secured the presidential victory for Tinubu.

He expressed gratitude to the council members, acknowledging that their commitment was the driving force behind the successful execution of their assignment with ruthless efficiency. He also commended the council members for their selflessness and diligence in the face of life-threatening challenges encountered before, during, and after the elections.

“Let me seize this opportunity to give assurance that your efforts are well appreciated by the President-elect.

“I therefore urge you to continue to keep hope alive in line with his campaign manifesto and mantra of Renewed Hope,” he said.

According to Agara, the Tinubu administration that was coming was a blessing from the divine that would benefit all Nigerians.

“I am certain that his government will raise the bar of good governance to deliver the greatest good to the greatest number of the Nigerian people.

“This will be done in a manner capable of meeting the genuine yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians, irrespective of race, creed, region, religion and political affiliation,” he said.

According to him, in 2022, the council initiated the campaign with remarkable energy, dedication, and perseverance, overcoming obstacles along the way, and reaching out to Nigerians in rural areas.

He further stated that the council encouraged Nigerians to place their aspirations and futures in the hands of the Tinubu/Shettima presidential ticket.

“They listened to us, believed us, and decided to give us their votes. Today, I assure them that they will not regret doing so.

“Our incoming government is the Nigerian peoples’ government in which we all have a stake.

“The President-elect has already said he heard them loud and clear, particularly the youth, the future hope of our nation.

“Together, we fought a good fight, we have finished the race, we have kept the faith. We will continue to keep hope alive, the President-elect knows what to do from there,” Agara said.

According to him, Tinubu had returned to the country, reinvigorated and bursting with energy, well in advance of the May 29 transfer of power. (NAN)
