Invite Patriotic Nigerians To Join Us- APC Chieftain Advise Party Leadership

Director-General of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) Salihu Mohammed Lukman has warned leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against complacency, saying the party should be testing political proposals meant to deepen democracy.

The APC chieftain said the governing party needs to take every necessary step to open up party structures and invite patriotic Nigerians to join it.

In a statement released on Sunday, November 8, Lukman said APC is far ahead of its political peers in terms of being a liberal party with strong internal contestation.

Part of the statement read:

“With the party’s national caretaker committee about to commence processes of membership registration and verification, we should aggressively mobilise Nigerians across all parts and sections of the country to join the party.

“This should be a necessary precondition to accelerate the process of ensuring that political negotiations in the country go beyond electoral contests.”

Meanwhile, the APC has declared that the internal party crisis that rocked the party before the emergence of the caretaker committee distracted public attention from appreciating the achievements of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

The party said the current administration was delivering on APC’s three critical electoral promises – fighting corruption, security, and revamping the economy.
