Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State says the All Progressives Congress (APC) boasts 41 million members, making it the biggest political party in Africa.
Buni made this known yesterday in a meeting with the party’s reconciliation committee led by Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
Represented by former Senate President Ken Nnamani, the governor said APC remains the party that can confidently win elections with a landslide victory in all the national elections.
While receiving an interim report from the committee, he said, “As you are aware, the party conducted a successful membership registration and revalidation and now proudly has over 41 million membership making APC Africa’s largest political party and Nigeria’s leading party. With this numerical strength, the APC remains the party that can confidently win elections with a landslide victory in all the national elections.
“The submission of this report by the national reconciliation committee under the chairmanship of Abdullahi Adamu is coming at a crucial period as we approach the National convention and the 2023 general elections. Therefore, the committee’s findings would contribute in no small measure to a successful convention and the general election.
“Let me express our sincere appreciation to the committee for handling the assignment given to them with a high sense of commitment and responsibility. You have painstakingly visited states where we have challenges and addressed them squarely.”
He said the achievements the party had recorded in reconciling the differences among stakeholders in Gombe, Ogun, Kwara, and many other states had justified the party’s confidence in the individual and collective capacities of the committee members.
He added, “I wish to assure you that the Caretaker Committee will carefully study the report and implement the same to improve the unity and strength of the party.
“However, in spite of all the achievements recorded by the party under my stewardship and the high-profile defections into the party, it is very pertinent for the party to promote the philosophy of unity of purpose, to pursue national interests against personal interests and a functional system of internal democracy to have a United, stable and prosperous political party.”
