While recalling the party’s history, Mr Morka noted that the party has grown into Africa’s largest party and has focused on policies that are people-oriented.
“In remarkable strides, our Party has come a long way from its humble nascence and morphed into Africa’s largest political party of over 40 Million members through the enunciation of people-centred policies that have repositioned our country for holistic development in all areas of our national life.
“As the Party celebrates this milestone, we applaud our compatriots for their invaluable support and resilience these past years as our government continues its determined effort to tackle poverty, insecurity, systemic corruption, and expand access to economic opportunities and improved living standards for all Nigerians. We urge for more understanding and patience as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unpacks the Renewed Hope agenda of his administration towards greater peace, unity, security and prosperity of our nation,” Morka said.
Recall that in 2013, some opposition parties; the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) merged to form and register the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In 2015, the APC won the Presidential election taking power from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP which had been in government for 16 years.
Also in 2015, the APC won majority seats in the National Assembly and majority of the States of Nigeria.
The party maintained its winning streak of the presidency and National Assembly and states in the 2019 and 2023 General elections in Nigeria.
