The assignment demands not merely enthusiasm, but tact, resilience, persuasive communication, coalition-building and an exceptional understanding of the intricate sociology of political mobilisation. These are qualities you have consistently demonstrated, and I am persuaded that you will deploy them with distinction in advancing the objectives of the Campaign Council,” he added.
He prayed for success in Hon. Akinola’s new role and described the appointment as both an honour and a call to greater service.
“This appointment is, therefore, both an honour and a call to greater service. May you rise magnificently to the occasion, transcend every challenge that may accompany this responsibility, and leave an indelible imprint on the mobilisation architecture entrusted to your stewardship. May your tenure be characterised by strategic brilliance, remarkable achievements and an unprecedented capacity to inspire confidence, consolidate support and translate grassroots enthusiasm into tangible electoral dividends,” Babawale stated.
