Following the affirmation of the executive council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State, Governor Umaru Bago has stated that equity, justice, and fairness will guide the party in the discharge of its responsibilities across the state.

The governor made the remarks at the official affirmation of leaders to pilot the affairs of APC in the state, held at the Government House, Minna. He noted that Niger State conducted some of the best and most peaceful congresses in Nigeria.

He charged the affirmed State Executives of the party to remain united and work as a family, stressing that both old and new members of the party have equal status.
