Ganduje Takes Campaign For Internal Democracy To Ghana

THE National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has taken the campaign for the entrenchment of internal democracy in Africa to neighbouring Ghana.

Ganduje, who met with his Ghanaian counterpart, Mr. Stephen Ayesu Ntim, at the headquarters of the New Patriotic Party ( NPP) in Accra, stressed the need for political parties in Africa to understudy themselves to bolster internal democracy and improve the lot of impoverished Africans yearning for good governance.

Ganduje, in a statement yesterday by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, said that both countries share similar historical experiences, hence the need to work together to ensure the wellbeing of their citizenry. Ganduje, who was accompanied to Accra by the Deputy National Chairman

South, Emma Eneukwu; Deputy National Secretary, Festus Fuanter; National Legal Adviser, Prof. Abdulkarim Abubakar Kana; Chief of Staff, Malam Muhammad Garba; Senior Special Assistant Visual Communications, Aminu Dahiru and Senior Special Assistant Women Mobilisation, Ngozi Ononiwu, said the visit to Accra was in reciprocation of the visit of the leader of the NPP to Nigeria in late 2023.

The APC national chairman advocated for parties in Africa to monitor elections in sister countries.

“We can learn from each other to improve our democracy. Just like we use to have foreign observers monitoring our elections, we can develop a template among ourselves so that political parties can equally visit other African countries to see how elections are being conducted. I think this will help us in nurturing our democracy.
