With our good work, APC will rule Nigeria for 32 years – Interim Chairman Buni
Interim Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni, says the party is making effort to ensure it retains power for at least 32 years.
The caretaker chairman said the APC would be able to “effectively” improve the lives of Nigerians if it has more than eight terms in office.
Mr Buni, who doubles as the Yobe State governor on Tuesday during the inauguration of the party’s 61-member contact and strategy committee in Abuja, explained that the party needed to be in power to consolidate on the delivery of the dividends of democracy which it has been delivering since 2015.
Mr Buni noted that the party’s decision to set up a high-powered committee is to map out the strategies and prepare grounds for the actualisation of the party’s plans.
The APC chieftain further stated that the party vision ” is to provide a wheel that will drive the party to go beyond 6th, 7th and even 8th terms of office to effectively implement the party manifesto, improve the lives of Nigerians and, to remain Nigeria’s leading political party.”
“The constitution of the strategy and contact committee therefore, is to consolidate the achievements we are making in building a strong party with a solid structure that would accomplish APC to stand the test of time,” he said.
“Our vision is to provide a wheel that will drive the party to go beyond sixth, seventh and even eighth term of office to effectively implement the party manifesto, improve the lives of Nigerians and, to remain Nigeria’s leading political party.
“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.”
Buni said the party’s efforts at wooing new members to the party have been successful.
“On the other hand, our efforts in wooing members of other political parties into APC have recorded remarkable and unprecedented successes,” he said.
“Another major milestone we have recorded as a party is the membership registration and revalidation exercise which has given every member of our party a true sense of belonging.
“The membership registration would provide us with the numerical strength of the party and to serve as a guide towards planning.”
