The opposition has united with an aim to plunder the resources of the Apex chamber while we are here to serve the masses that is why we have won the FPCCI elections twice.
They said that one of our aims is to revive the lost glory of the Apex Chamber of Commerce which was damaged due to mismanagement, corruption and nepotism.
We brought dictatorship in the FPCCI to an end and now it is playing due role in national development rather than serving a group of few opportunists. Senator Ilyas Bilour said that the business community of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa and Fata would fully back UBG in the upcoming FPCCI elections.
He said that only true democracy will prevail in trade politics and people with integrity have been given responsibilities so that that can contribute to image building of FPCCI and resolve issues of the business community.
