Abuja, Jan. 11, 2024 (NAN): Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, says his target is to increase the number of governors and legislators on the party’s platform. He said this when he spoke with newsmen on Thursday in Abuja.
“Our blueprint is to increase the numbers of legislators and governors that we have in the country, and by implication, the numbers of State Houses of Assembly members.
“That is why we said that the APC will be active throughout the year.
“In our tradition, usually, political parties as institutions are only active during electioneering.
“But in developed democracies, political parties as institutions are active because they are not only limited to election but also recruitment of members,” Ganduje said.
He said that a political party was a two-way traffic because it was expected to educate the people on the progress made by the government and also make recommendations on its manifestos.
Ganduje said this was how the government was assessed, adding that the ongoing renovation and new innovations at the party’s national secretariat were for its progress and the nation.
“Before now, there was no church within the party secretariat; nobody went to church on the premises, but now, we have a new church building going on.
“We have shops to avoid street hawking around the complex, and we have concrete drainage,” he said.
He added that the party’s media center, in terms of outlook and equipment, would be upgraded under his chairmanship to make it modern.
“We are not in analogue, but I think what I have seen here is analogue,” the APC national chairman said. (NAN)
