In preparation for 2023 general election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated a 61-man contact and strategy committee to map out strategies and prepare grounds for the party’s actualisation of becoming the largest political platform in Africa.
Some members of the committee were Governors Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, Babagana Zulum of Borno, Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, Aminu Masari of Katsina, Simon Lalong of Plateau, Hope Uzodinma of Imo, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, David Umahi of Ebonyi and Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano.
Others include the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, and two former Speakers of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole and Yakubu Dogara, and others.
The committee was inaugurated on Tuesday in Abuja by Yobe State Governor, and Chairman All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) Mai Mala Buni.
Buni said that the committee would be chaired Jigawa Governor, Mohammed Badaru, and as he explained that the party decided to set up a high-powered committee to further serve as a measure to map out strategies and prepare grounds for the party ahead of the election.
The chairman added that the committee would assist APC to rebuild and reposition the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The governor said, “The constitution of the Strategy and Contact committee, therefore, is to consolidate the achievements we are making in building a strong party with a solid structure that would accomplish APC to stand the test of time.
“Our vision is to provide a wheel that will drive the party to go beyond 6th, 7th, and even 8th terms of office to effectively implement the party manifesto, improve the lives of Nigerians and, to remain Nigeria’s leading political party.
“This committee is therefore very key to our process of transition towards successful congresses and national convention and, to establish a very solid, reputable, and reliable future for the party.
