A support group for the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of Progressive Voters’ Forum (PVF) has lauded President Bola Tinubu and Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) for initiating the first APC National Summit this week.
The national summit slated for Thursday has the theme: ‘Renewed Hope Agenda: The Journey So Far’ and will be held at the Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja by 10:00 am.
President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, and state governors from the party with their deputies are expected at the summit.
Others are former presidents who are members of the APC, all members of the National Assembly who are of the APC and a host of others.
PVF’s national coordinator, Dr Olusegun Kenneth, on Sunday said the summit will afford the APC leaders an opportunity to review the party’s performance as a ruling political party, dialogue on how to move the country forward, and unite the party leaders more ahead of future elections.
While commending the initiative, Kenneth said that this summit will help most Nigerians learn about President Bola Tinubu’s under-publicised achievements.
“As a forum, this summit is coming at the right time. By the 29th of May, it will be two good years since our amiable President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took over. Therefore, as a responsible party, Uje’s NWC has provided this platform to showcase many achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda that have been under-reported or the opposition parties have refused to see. We commend the National Working Committee for that.
“We, however, call on all the delegates to the summit to attend with an open mind and engage in productive dialogue that will solidify our party, evangelise it to more Nigerians, and drive APC to victories in future elections.
“This summit should also bring on board different interests and groups and find a way to accommodate all interests, including those just joining the fold,” he said.
Kenneth also called on Nigerians to continue to show support and rally more support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, adding that” the government has used the last two years to lay good foundations for the economy, infrastructure, and well-being of Nigerians, and the results have started yielding as prices of commodities have started coming down and inflation has dropped, among other things.
“We believe this national summit is in the interest of Nigerians and the nation. In time, Nigerians will ignore the noisy opposition parties and their figures, and embrace the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he stated.
