All Progressives Congress will rule Nigeria for 40 years, says party national chairman
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has predicted ruling Nigeria for forty years which will run for ten consecutive terms, just as the leadership on Monday announced the strategy and contact committee’s composition
Penpushing reports that, the party’s interim national chairman, Mai Mala Buni, made this known on Tuesday during the inauguration of the 61-member Strategy and Contact Committee ahead of the 2023 general elections held in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The party boss explained that the committee was one of the party’s strategies to successfully organise its congresses and convention to usher in its next crop of leaders and also reiterated his commitment to resolving crisis within the party and ensure an inclusive administration at all levels
“Our vision is to provide a wheel that will drive the party to go beyond 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and even 10th term of office to effectively implement the party manifesto, improve the lives of Nigerians and, to remain Nigeria’s leading political party’, Buni said.
“This committee is therefore very key to our process of transition towards successful congresses and national convention and, to establish a very solid, reputable and reliable future for the party” ,he added
Penpushing further reports that, the national chairman was flanked by governors, senators and other prominent members of the party at the event held at the National Executive Council (NEC) hall of the party headquarters in Abuja.
The chairman of the committee, Governor Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State, while speaking called for more commitment of members in the affairs of the party, adding that the party recorded not less than 36 million members during its just concluded membership registration and revalidation exercise.
“I note with commendation that many Nigerians have continued to join the party daily and the ongoing registration exercises have further demonstrated the popularity of the party in the country,” Abubakar said.
“We are mindful of the time table publicised by the party and our committee shall work assiduously to support the party in delivering on the time table.Initially, we printed forms for only 10, 000 members but we got up to 10 million members’
‘And now, we have gone to 36 million and that is not even enough. And now, we are printing more because when people see what President Muhammadu Buhari has done with one side of the resources than the previous administration gets.”
Penpushing also reports that, notable attendees at the ceremony include: Gbenga Daniel, former Governor of Ogun State, a new decampee, Senator Iyiola Omisore, 2018 Governorship candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Osun State, Akinwunmi Ambode, a former Lagos State Governor, who is a member of the newly inaugurated committee
Meanwhile, it is recalled that, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while in power had also boasted that, it will rule the country for sixty years, but was able to rule for sixteen years and lost power to All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015
