The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje, has assured Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu has the capacity to reform the nation’s economy and governance.

He gave assurance while addressing the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) led by Sen. Dayo Adeyeye paid him a courtesy visit at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja.

His words: “Lagos is a great state, not only in Nigeria but in Africa. So we want a replica, we want a mirror image of that kind of sustainability for Nigeria.

“And we believe Asiwaju is equal to the task, he will reform our system, reform the system of governance, reform the institutions, reform the economy and all other social issues that will take Nigeria to the next level.”

Ganduje commended SWAGA for the role it played in ensuring that the Tinubu Presidency became a reality.

“If you want to start a journey you must start with preparedness, and I think you started this journey with preparedness because you’re committed, you have common ideas leading to a kind of philosophy or a kind of ideology to achieve an objective.

“I think that is a very good starting point, because once you start something, you must have an objective, you must have a target, a timeframe and how to do it, and must know you are committed you must do it.”

“When you said you formed this association, this group, not to your knowledge, some of us started it in the heart even before explaining it to others to know, because when you like something when you love something, it starts from the heart.

“Sometimes you even suffer because people don’t understand you. But we believe our principal is the right principal, he is the man that we have been yearning to mount the leadership of this country and we have succeeded in doing that.

Ganduje noted that Lagos State has a high degree of sustainability, adding that the high degree of sustainability was not because Tinubu has been the governor for over 20 years in Lagos, but rather he developed institutions, and laid the foundation for sustainability for Lagos.

The chairman stressed that they believed Tinubu would leave a big mark of change in Nigeria.

Earlier, Adeyeye congratulated Ganduje and the National Secretary of the party, Senator Ajibola Bashir for their emergence and pledged their support to the new leaders.

A prominent grassroots mobilizer and seasoned politician, Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman, has been elected as the State Secretary of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Her emergence was confirmed during the party’s State Congress held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the SDP National Secretariat in Abuja.

The congress, which was peaceful and well-attended by delegates from across the FCT, marked a significant turning point for the party’s leadership. Several key officials were elected into various strategic roles, with Hon. Gloria’s victory standing out as a reflection of the party’s growing emphasis on inclusive leadership and grassroots empowerment.

Gloria Sarauniya is widely respected within political circles for her unwavering commitment to party ideals and her dedication to community development. Before joining the SDP, she served as Deputy National Contact and Mobilization Secretary of the PDP Professional and Business Group (PDPPBG), where she championed professional engagement and grassroots outreach.

Her election as State Secretary is being celebrated across the party as a boost to internal coordination and strategic planning. Known for her humility, administrative acumen, and passion for social inclusion, Gloria has consistently played pivotal roles in mobilizing support for the party across the six area councils of the FCT.

Speaking with JOWBBLOG, party stakeholders described her as “an astute politician, a tireless organizer, and a voice for women and youth in the political space.” One delegate remarked: “She deserves this position. Hon. Gloria Sarauniya has been a pillar in the party, always working behind the scenes to promote its values and strengthen its foundation—even when it wasn’t politically convenient.”

Her leadership as State Secretary is expected to usher in a new era of efficiency, inclusivity, and robust mobilization efforts, positioning the SDP for greater electoral success in the FCT.

With Hon. Gloria Sarauniya Usman now occupying one of the most strategic roles in the state chapter, party observers believe the SDP is better equipped to consolidate its grassroots presence and expand its influence in upcoming elections.
