Nigeria’s governing party, the All Progressives Congress, APC is working to improve its internal mechanisms and strengthen the party structures from bottom to top.
In a press briefing at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said this was one of the resolutions reached in its National Working Committee, NWC meeting.
The APC NWC meeting is the first chaired by the party’s new Chairman, the immediate past Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Present at the meeting also was the new National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Bashir who was selected along with Ganduje at the APC’s recent National Executive Committee meeting.
Among other issues discussed at the closed-door meeting of the NWC, Mr. Morka said were preparations for the forthcoming governorship elections in some states.
“We had a conversation about the composition of the campaign council for the off-season elections in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi States and how to fashion a national campaign council for each of the states.
“We looked at the criteria for bringing people together to populate the council in order to provide the needed support to the State Campaign Councils,” he said.
Mr Morka further stated that the meeting briefed the National Chairman and National Secretary on its finance to bring them up to date.
While addressing the Press at the briefing, the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Bashir said the APC under Ganduje’s leadership will focus on supporting President Bola Tinubu administration and on winning elections.
“Our focus will also be on strengthening the three wings of our party: the youth, women and people with disability.
“We are going to interface with the leadership of our party at the national, state and zonal level to ensure that we have a re-energised party whose activities will not only be limited to when elections are done,” Bashir said.
