APC thanks Nigerians for solidarity
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has thanked Nigerians for their congratulatory messages and words of encouragement, following the party’s inaugural national convention in Abuja on Friday.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its national publicity secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said, “We are encouraged and gratified by the goodwill messages from a cross section of Nigerians, many of them from outside our party, especially on the openness and transparency of our convention.
“This massive support from Nigerians has strengthened our resolve to continue with our efforts to move our country forward. Now, we are back to work and we will not look back until Nigeria has been rescued from the grip of a rapacious cabal intent on stifling the country’s progress.’’
The APC also thanked all its members and supporters for their demonstrated commitment to the sustenance of democracy and the upliftment of Nigeria.
It said even when a rainstorm started midway into the convention, the delegates were undaunted as they defied the weather to protect the ballot boxes and cast their votes.
‘’It is also noteworthy that no cases of violence and pick-pocketing were recorded despite the massive turnout at the Eagles Square for the convention,” the party said.
The party therefore assured Nigerians that in the days ahead, it will be providing more details of its road map which will lead it to the creation of a new and prosperous Nigeria for the benefit of all her people.
