President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the new National Executive Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
On Saturday, the APC at her national convention held at Eagle Square, Abuja, elected Abdullahi Adamu; a 2 term former governor of Nasarawa State under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, currently a Senator and 79 others as members of the party’s NEC.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page, the President said the convention “is a victory over naysayers who believed the party was divided but are now disappointed.”
He also congratulated members of the party for the unity displayed during the conduct of the convention adding that the party is on a firmer footing for victory in next year’s General Elections.
The statement reads:
“I would like to formally congratulate the new National Executive Committee (NEC) of our Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The unity of members on display at our just-concluded Convention puts the party on a firmer footing for victory in next year’s General Elections.
“It was a great pleasure to witness and celebrate the inauguration of the newly-elected party executives, this morning at the Eagle Square.
“This APC Convention sets the scene for an APC victory in the presidential and general elections next year.
“It is a victory over naysayers who believed the party was divided but are now disappointed.
“As I noted recently, we must continue to stay focused and steadfast as a Party, while we seize every opportunity to remind the main opposition party of their failed 16 years in power, and their continuing failure even as opposition.”
