We’ll rebuild APC before 2023, says Akpan Udoedehe

Secretary of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker /Extra Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee, Senator James Akpan Udoedehe, has said the upcoming membership registration exercise was part of the party’s effort to rebuild and rebrand itself for the future.

He said this while speaking to journalists, in Abuja, on Wednesday. The party secretary urged supporters across the length and breadth of the nation, to ensure that they were carried along in the rebuilding process.

Akpanudoedehe also said it was particularly important for politicians in the South Woodpile, especially in Akwa Ibom State, to join hands with the party leadership to entrench the party in the zone before the 2023 general elections.

He said, “What we are asking from all APC stakeholders in Akwa Ibom State, is that we all need to come together to build APC in our state and in the entire South Aiwa geopolitical zone.

“It is only when we are firmly rooted on ground that the platform becomes viable for individual aspirations. Let’s build the party before we talk of 2023.”

The party scribe explained that so much damage was done to the internal mechanisms of the party hence the need to rebuild the party from bottom up.

According to him, it was after the party took its pride of place in the zone that members who had ambitions to contest for elective office can do so on its platform.
