The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has said that the National Working Committee (NWC), of the party is working to get new state Governors come 2027.
Ganduje stated this on Tuesday, 21 May, 2024 in Abuja at a policy roundtable titled, ‘The Asiwaju Scorecard Series’, organised by APC Professionals Forum.
He said the leadership of the APC was gradually restructuring the party into a truly grassroots progressive party.
The APC National Chairman said the NWC has directed the state chapters of the party to liaise with their respective governors and other stakeholders to ensure that they have full-fledged, functional offices in every political ward and state to enable members across the country to have symbolic representation in their neighborhood.
He said the NWC has also constituted a reconciliation committee that would reconcile all aggrieved party members, and such committees would be established at the state, local government and ward levels.
“Even though it is not yet an election period, we are reinvigorating that party to ensure that come 2027, we will retain and get new state governors, as well as Mr President to secure another mandate to continue with his government’s policies and programmes.
“We are gradually restructuring our party into a truly grassroots progressive party. We have directed our State Chapters to liaise with their respective Governors and other stakeholders to ensure that we have full-fledged, functional offices in every political ward and state to enable our members across the country to have symbolic representation in their neighborhood.
“This measure will ensure that party activities are rolled out all year round not during political campaigning and elections only,” Ganduje said.
