A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasiru Danu, says the party is intact and united, adding that every leadership challenge the party currently faces is part of a political process.
Alhaji Danu, a member of the APC National Executive Committee, NEC, stated this at an appreciation dinner held in his honor by the Non-National Working Committee members of APC NEC.
He expressed optimism that the APC will conduct its National Convention scheduled for March 26 and emerge strong and ready for Nigeria’s 2023 General Election.
“What’s happening in the party is just a phase. It is okay. We are intact, and we will come out on top no matter our issue.
“You know we are approaching the convention, and our mindset now is about the convention. They have just set up the committees, and our job is to support them to achieve their goal of holding a successful convention. Whatever we did before brought us to where we are; we need to do more.
“We are family, and they are all competent members of NEC who have done so much for the party in their offices in different zones. I am sure the party will also benefit from their experience. We hope that many of them will be re-elected from their different zones.
“What you seek is for the NWC of the party to settle and hold the convention in the next couple of weeks and then bring a fresh NWC and NEC. The situation in the party is nothing extraordinary, it is part of politics,” Danu said.
Meanwhile, the APC Youth Leader North West, Abubakar Sadiq, one of the event organisers, emphasised the need for the party’s leaders to assign youths more responsibility in the coming NWC.
“This is a campaign of the youth leaders from all the geopolitical zones. We have been doing this campaign right from day one during the membership registration of our party. We have been urging all members of our party from the ward congresses where we organised many programs that youths should be involved in the leadership structure of the party,” Sadiq said.
