“I pledge that we will take APGA to its main owners: peasant farmers, artisans, professionals and others. We will launch project ‘drive APGA’, which will embark on a membership drive, and will move the party from where it is today to a higher pedestal.”

Soludo while speaking at the event said: “We are a party that believes in partnership. Because we want to see outcome, we will partner with those who want to move Nigeria forward.

“We will continue in the policy of partnering with government in power. Elections are over and governance has begun in earnest. We congratulate INEC for the election.

“The same election some people repudiated is the one that produced senators and Reps on the same day. I thank INEC for being able to conduct the election. Many governors lost election to Senate, some lost the ability to install successors, it has never been heard of in Nigeria.

Soludo added that: “Our party is going to be led by a youth. We are sure the party will be moved to a new height. We call on those who left APGA to return.

“Our tent is bigger and can contain all. APGA is a movement rooted in ideology and has a base. We have no faction in APGA and it remains indivisible and strong.”NYSC Portal
