All is set for the second anniversary celebration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.
The chairman of the anniversary committee and National Organizing Secretary of the Party, Senator Osita Izunaso in an interview with Journalists said that the event is billed to take place end if this month.
In apparent mood of self adulation, Izunaso stated that it was remarkable to have recorded unprecedented feats of having 22 governors, controlling the two chambers of the National Assembly and above all producing the President of the country within two years of establishing the party.
According to him, programmes have been lined up, one of which would series of lectures by the former Nigeria’s permanent representatives to the United Nations, professor Ibrahim Gambari to make the anniversary eventful.
“It’s already two years by the 31st of July this year, the APC was registered by INEC July 31st 2013, last year when we wanted to celebrate our one year anniversary, we got tied up with preparations towards registration of our membership, towards conducting congresses for our members across the federation, national convention as well as the party primaries for the 2015 general elections which we won by the grace of God.
“It is unprecedented that within two years of being registered as a party, we have won the general elections, it is unprecedented that within two years of being registered as a party, we have twenty two (22) governors elected under the platform of the party, it is also unprecedented that within two years of our registration, we are controlling the two chambers of the National Assembly, these are the things we considered as giant stride achievements that begged for call to celebrate our great party on its second year as a political party.
“The event to celebrate our party at two will hold by the end of this month (August) here in Abuja and we are getting world class resource persons to speak to us on the role of a political party on emerging government and to as well talk about our change mantra, what to do to effect the change. We shall hear talks on the change our party is championing, is it change of altitude or otherwise, this are the aspects we will be looking at.
“We have secured the date and the guest speakers are fine tuning ahead of it, I can say authoritatively that one of the guest speakers will be Professor Ibrahim Gambari, Nigeria’s permanent representatives to the United Nations. We are also finalising the arrangements to get speakers outside the country”, he said.
The APC scribe also stated that “we also want to use the avenue for internal soul search to let ourselves know that the task ahead is more than the one behind.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
