The All-Progressives Congress (APC) has disclosed that the party is working towards retaining power at the Federal Level for at least 36 years.
This revelation was made by the party’s Caretaker and Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee Chairman and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, on Tuesday during a press conference in Abuja.
Buni noted that the ruling APC needed to be in power to consolidate on the delivery of the dividend of democracy which the party has been delivering since 2015. He added that the party decided to set up a high-powered committee to map out strategies and prepare grounds for the actualization of this objective.
The Yobe governor added that the ruling party has achieved a lot in terms of its core mandate of reconciling aggrieved party members and attracting new members.
Buni made the disclosure while inaugurating the 61-Member Contact and Strategy Committee at the APC National Secretariat.
“Our vision is to provide a wheel that will drive the party to go beyond seventh, eighth and ninth terms of office. When we succeed in doing this, APC will definitely achieve more than what it is expected to improve the lives of Nigerians and make Nigeria a great country,” the Chairman said.
“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.
“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.
“The high-powered committee is to be chaired by His Excellency the Executive Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Badaru Abubakar.”
