An APC chieftain, Abiola Oshodi, has described the appointments of Abdullahi Ganduje and Mary Idele-Alile as rewards for their loyalty.

President Bola Tinubu appointed Mr Ganduje and Ms Idele-Alile as board chairpersons of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria and chairman of the Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, respectively.

Mr Oshodi, in a congratulatory message on Monday in Akure, said the duo’s appointment was deserving, and they would add value to their new roles.

He described them as dedicated individuals who had served in different offices with commitment and determination and said they would serve the nation with their wealth of experience.

“Dr Umar Ganduje has served as the executive governor of Kano State for eight years and is currently serving as the national chairman of our party, APC.

“No doubt, he is going to assist the president to achieve the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, which is anchored on economic prosperity and development in all sectors.

“Also, the national women leader of our party, Mary Idele-Alile, is a woman of substance who has been an advocate of development and growth across the board,” said Mr Oshodi.

The politician added, “She will, no doubt, work towards the objectives of this administration’s agenda in the interest of Nigerians.

“I want to appreciate President Bola  Tinubu, GCFR, for his steadfastness and dedication to not only rewarding hard work but prioritising merit in the distribution of appointments to deserving Nigerians.”
