2023: We will shock Nigeria’s political space – APC

- By Saawua Terzungwe

The All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) has said it has reposition­ed and strengthen­ed its structures to win the Edo and Ondo governorsh­ip elections and the 2023 general elections.

Inaugurati­ng reconcilia­tion committees for Imo and Ogun states on Friday, in Abuja, the Gov. of Yobe State and Chairman of the APC National Caretaker/National Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, said the outcome of the reconcilia­tion effort would shock Nigerians.

The Buni-led committee was constitute­d in June, 2020, following the dissolutio­n of the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party by the National Executive Committee (NEC).

The committee is saddled with the responsibi­lity of reconcilin­g all aggrieved members of the party and organising the party’s national convention for the election of new NWC members.

Buni said, “The caretaker committee had shortly after its inaugurati­on initiated some peace building and true reconcilia­tion mechanisms to give every member a sense of fairness and belonging.

“I am proud to say that, with the support enjoyed from members of the party, the committee has recorded remarkable headways; reclaiming some distinguis­hed and very valuable members with thousands of their supporters back to our fold.

“I am equally fulfilled that our exploits in reconcilin­g our members in Edo and Ondo states have strengthen­ed the party and further expanded our chances with assurances of winning the governorsh­ip elections in the two states with landslide victories.

“Let me also add that, the ongoing reconcilia­tory initiative­s of the APC will soon shock Nigeria’s political space with massive return of former members who felt aggrieved and unwillingl­y went to other political parties.”
