National caretaker committee Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, has said his party’s vision is to remain in power for more than nine terms in office, which equates to over 36 years.
Buni disclosed this during a press conference in Abuja while inaugurating the party’s 61-member Contact and Strategy Committee at the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, saying his party will need several more years and terms to fix Nigeria.
APC is seeing through its second term in office which elapses in 2023, after halting the opposition PDP’s 17 years in power in 2015.
While noting that the ruling APC needed to be in power to consolidate on the delivery of the dividends of democracy which it has been delivering since 2015, Buni said the party decided to set up the high-powered committee to map out strategies and prepare grounds for the actualization of this objective.
The Governor noted that the party under his leadership had achieved a lot in terms of its core mandate of reconciling aggrieved party members and attracting new members.
He expressed;
Our vision is to provide a wheel that will drive the party to go beyond seventh, eighth and ninth terms of office. When we succeed in doing this, APC will definitely achieve more than what it is expected to improve the lives of Nigerians and make Nigeria a great country.
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.
Buni added;
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.
