APC pledges commitment to Nigeria’s development

The All Progressives Congress on Sunday assured Nigerians that it will provide details of its Road Map to the creation of a new and prosperous Nigeria for the benefit of all her people in the days ahead.

It said this while expressing gratitude to Nigerians and members of the party for keeping faith with it as it consolidates on building a political platform which will serve as an alternative to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this in a statement on behalf of the party.

According to him, the success recorded during the just concluded inaugural national convention was a clear signal that the party was prepared for the task ahead.

Mohammed said, “The agenda we have placed in the public domain to showcase our party’s determination to change the face of the country includes job creation; war against corruption; free, relevant quality education; restoration of agriculture; housing, improved healthcare; social welfare plan for the less privileged; greater attention to roads, power and infrastructure; better management of natural resources and strengthening peace, security and foreign policy.

“But based on the nationwide scientific poll we conducted across the 36 states and the federal capital, we have identified three sectors that would command special attention. They are job creation, war against corruption as well as security.

“These sectors will get immediate and special attention from an APC-led federal government, starting on May 29th 2015, by the votes of Nigerians and the Grace of God.”

The APC also said the achievements of all the Governors in the 16 states controlled by the APC will also be showcased to Nigerians, as part of efforts to make them realize that with the emergence of the APC, it will no longer be business as usual.


The party also expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their congratulatory messages and words of encouragement, following the party’s hugely successful inaugural national convention in Abuja on Friday that saw the emergence of an elected National Executive Committee, led by Chief John Oyegun, to guide the affairs of the party.

”We are encouraged and gratified by the goodwill messages from a cross section of Nigerians, many of them from outside our party, especially on the openness and transparency of our convention,” the party said.

The party’s spokesman said the support which the party has received from Nigerians has strengthened its resolve to continue with the effort to move our country forward.

The party, he said, was now back to work and that it will not look back until Nigeria has been rescued from the grip of rapacious cabal intent on stifling the country’s progress.

APC also thanked all its members and supporters for their demonstrated commitment to the sustenance of democracy and the upliftment of Nigeria, saying even when a rainstorm started midway into the convention, the delegates were undaunted as they defied the weather to protect the ballot boxes and cast their votes.
