‘Why APC should continue in power beyond 2023’

- By Itodo Daniel Sule

The Progressiv­e Legacy Movement (PLM), a group of new generation politician­s in the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) has called on Nigerians to support the party to continue in power beyond 2023 in order to attain stable governance for the country.

In a statement in Abuja, yesterday, by its Director of Media, Sanusi Abdulkaree­m, PLM said Nigeria requires stable governance to attain rapid developmen­t, noting that the idea of a single political

party holding power for a long time did not diminish democracy.

The group said it would commit to driving the campaign to ensure that the APC continued in power long enough to drive Nigeria’s growth and developmen­t.

“Lack of stable political system is one of the major reasons Nigeria has been unable to grow at the pace we envisaged. We all love to reference the developmen­t in foreign countries, but we always neglect the fact that government­s abroad enjoy relative stability which helps greatly to sustain

the policies and programmes of incumbents.

“We believe that the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) has initiated key reform interventi­ons in the last six years, and to have a new party in power would be to reverse all the gains that have been recorded under this government.

“It is therefore important to support the APC to continue in power, while Nigerians join us to screen and support patriotic politician­s who belong to the party at every election circle,” the group said.
