The All Progressives Congress (APC), has congratulated party members, stakeholders and leaders on the occasion of its 10th year anniversary of the.
In a statement signed and released by the party National Publicity Secretary Barrister Felix Morka on Monday saying the party salute the founding visionaries of the Party for their commitment to progressive values and principles.
The statement noted that APC was a child of the imperative which has pulled the nation from the brink where it hung precariously by the maladministration of the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said the historic merger of some political parties, notably, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) paved way for the Party’s founding.
According to him: “In remarkable strides, our Party has come a long way from its humble nascence and morphed into Africa’s largest political party of over 40 Million members through the enunciation of people-centered policies that have repositioned our country for holistic development in all areas of our national life”
“Significantly, in its first run, the Party defeated the then incumbent PDP in 2015 to clinch the Presidency of Nigeria, won control of the National Assembly, and majority of the States of the Federation. This feat of success was repeated in 2019 and 2023 general elections with mandate to consolidate on its leadership, expand good governance and extend the frontiers of economic and social development of our dear nation”.
“As the Party celebrates this milestone, we applaud our compatriots for their invaluable support and resilience these past years as our government continues its determined effort to tackle poverty, insecurity, systemic corruption, and expand access to economic opportunities and improved living standards for all Nigerians. We urge for more understanding and patience as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unpacks the Renewed Hope agenda of his administration towards greater peace, unity, security and prosperity of our nation”, he noted.
