A former governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-Makura, has expressed readiness to serve in any capacity if called upon by President Bola Tinubu.
Daily Trust reported that after Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje stepped down as national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), stakeholders from the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc and the North Central have intensified their calls for Al-Makura to emerge as the party’s next national chairman.
Speaking in an interview with Trust TV, Al-Makura, an APC chieftain, said he is a committed party member who is ready to do whatever the president wants.
“If Mr President, as the leader of this country, tells me that ‘Al-Makura, I want you to come to my office and dust my table every Monday, that is what pleases me, that is what I feel will make the party and this country progress’,” he said when asked if he will accept the position of APC national chairman if Tinubu calls him to do so.
“I can assure you that I will make it a date that every Monday at that appointed time. I will come, dust the table, and go. I will be satisfied that I have done what the president wants.
“That is the level of my commitment and loyalty to a leader.”
