The All Progressives Congress (APC), celebrating it’s 10th anniversary, has called for understanding and patience from Nigerians, just as President Bola Tinubu unpacks his administrationโs โRenewed Hopeโโ agenda.
Mr Felix Morka, the partyโs National Publicity Secretary, made the call in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
He congratulated APC members across the nation and assured that the โRenewed Hopeโโ agenda would ensure peace, unity, security and prosperity.
โOn the occasion of the 10th anniversary of our great party, the APC, we congratulate our members, stakeholders and leaders on this important milestone.
โWe salute the founding visionaries of our party for their commitment to progressive values and principles.
โAPC was a child of the imperative to pull our nation from the brink where it hung precariously by the maladministration of the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),โโ Morka stated.
He recalled that the merger of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) paved the way for the founding of the APC.
Morka noted that from remarkable strides, the party had come a long way from its humble nascence and morphed into Africaโs largest political party of more than 40 million members.
This, he stated, the APC did through the enunciation of people-centred policies that had repositioned the country for holistic development in all areas of its national life.
โSignificantly, in its first run, the party defeated the then incumbent PDP in 2015 to clinch the countryโs presidency; won control of the National Assembly and majority of the states of the federation.
โThis feat was repeated at the 2019 and 2023 general elections with a mandate to consolidate on its leadership, expand good governance and extend the frontiers of economic and social development of our dear nation.
โAs the party celebrates this milestone, we applaud our compatriots for their invaluable support and resilience these past years,โโ the APC scribe stated.
