The immediate past Minister of State for Budget and National Planning and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Prince Clem Ikanade Agba, has felicitated Mrs Mary Alile Idele, PhD, on her emergence as the national woman leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Alile Idele filled the vacancy created by the appointment of the former occupant of the office, Dr Beta Edu, from Cross River State, as minister by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a letter to Alile, dated 24th August, 2023, entitled: “Letter of Felicitations on Your Appointment,” and made available to NATIONAL WAVES, Agba said he was happy and proud to learn of her emergence as national woman leader.
Read his letter: “It brings to me immense pleasure and pride to learn about your appointment as the National Woman Leader for our formidable All Progressives Congress (APC).
“This milestone is not merely an event; it is a testament to the progressive trajectory our party’s state chapter is on, signalling transformative change and revitalization.
“Your ascent to this pivotal role unequivocally mirrors the huge confidence that the party’s leadership, both at the state and national echelons, has in your capabilities, dedication, and vision.
“As the pages of this new chapter unfold, I eagerly anticipate witnessing your leadership as we collaboratively work to further the party’s ideals, fortifying its foundation, and ensuring that our national government remains unwavering in its commitment to deliver on its promises of RENEWED HOPE to the populace.
“I extend to you my support in the endeavour of rallying the dynamism and potentialities of Nigerian women under the banner of the APC. I am confident that under your stewardship, we will witness renewed engagement and active participation of Edo women in politics. Their support will be instrumental in the collective goal of our party to produce the subsequent government of Edo State in 2024.
“Let this letter serve as a celebration of you, my dear sister. This appointment, permit me to add, is not just a title, but an invocation to transcend, to effectuate change, and to shoulder responsibilities of the loftiest nature.
“Congratulations on this commendable achievement! May your journey ahead be filled with accomplishments that match your passion and dedication.
