The spokesman for the All Progressives Congress Party (APC) in Kogi State, Akwu Goodman, has stated the new party’s aspiration to overcome the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Goodman, who stated this over the weekend in Lokoja while speaking with journalists on the potentialities of the APC as an opposition party in the state, described the emergence of APC as the last hope of the ordinary people who have been bearing the brunt of mis-governance by the ruling PDP.
He urged the people of the state to support the new party, saying it was set to wrest power from the PDP.
The spokesman noted that successive administrations in the state had not really added value to the welfare of the citizenry, and pledged that if APC were given the mandate in 2015, it would transform the state within a short period of time.
According to Goodman, “the party is a consortium of tested hands, a combination of great intellects, with wisdom at work; and the testimony is what these parties – ACN, ANPP, CPC and APGA – are doing in the states they control,” he said.
He argued that the merger was a market place for diverse and mutually relative opinions of people who are ready to emancipate their people from the shackles of the PDP, just as he described the APC as a child of necessity which had come to restore hope to the people.
“The APC welcomes all those with passion and technical know how for how a party should be organised. The merger is not restricted to the four parties but to all progressives, including some in the PDP,” he said.
