Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has laid out the party’s key objectives for the upcoming year.
According to him, the party aims to secure victories in state elections, increase the number of governors and legislators.
Ganduje revealed the party’s strategic approach, expressing a dedication to continuous engagement throughout the year, unlike the common practice of political parties primarily focusing on election periods. He highlighted the importance of sustained institutional activity, citing examples from developed democracies where parties contribute to governance, membership recruitment, and manifesto evaluation.
He said; “Our blueprint is to increase the number of legislators that we have in the country. The number of governors that we have in the country and by implications the number of state House of Assemblies. That is why we said APC will be active throughout the year.
“In our tradition, usually political parties as institutions they are only get active during the electioneering. But in developed democracies, political parties as an institution are active because they are not only limited to election, recruitment of membership.
“It is a two-way traffic. It gives the progress of the government to people and also gives recommendations on its manifestos. That is how the government is assessed. That is why Renewed Hope is achieved”.
