The APC Legacy Awareness and Campaign (APCLAC), a
political group, says the problems confronting the country
are not caused by its party.
The group’s position was contained in a statement signed
by Salihu Lukman, director-general of the Progressive
Governors’ Forum; Ismail Ahmed and Tolu Ogunlesi,
presidential aides; as well as Lanre Issa-Onilu, former
spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The group, however, noted that the administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari is working to fix the
country’s problems.
“Our country, Nigeria, like every country in the world, is
faced with difficult problems. These are not problems
created by our party and its leadership,” it said.
“If anything, through all the initiatives being implemented by
the APC federal government, our party under the leadership
of President Buhari has demonstrated unrivalled boldness
and commitment to solve these longstanding issues and to
move Nigeria forward.
“With all the challenges in the country, APC is the only party
that is working to address them. Our leaders are not in
denial and are responding to the challenges. Our party, APC,
is the only party in the country whose leadership has
acknowledged its internal problems and have initiated
processes of resolving its internal problems.
“Thanks to the leadership of President Buhari, APC has
been undergoing a deep-rooted rebuilding and re-positioning
process.”
The group said it will showcase the national and sub-
national achievements of the APC administration with
“facts and empirical evidence”, on a weekly basis.
According to APCLAC, Buhari’s administration has
achieved more within six years than the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) which held power prior to 2015.
“In comparative terms, President Buhari’s government has
recorded more achievements within six years than all the
previous governments under the PDP between 1999 and
2015,” it said.
“We intend to present these achievements with facts and
empirical evidence. On weekly basis, we will invite
Nigerians to engage the issues based on specific
highlights of work being executed.
“In particular, we will invite all committed party members
to participate in the campaign. We will also invite
opposition parties, especially the PDP, to engage the
issues by presenting especially what they comparatively
were able to achieve when they were in power or in states
where they control.”
