Mai Mala Buni, chairman of the caretaker committee of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), says his party is the largest on the African
continent.
Buni spoke on Tuesday when he hosted Jon Tong Chol,
ambassador of North Korea to Nigeria, at the party’s national secretariat in
Abuja.
Represented by John Akpanudoedehe, national secretary, the
Yobe governor said the APC has over 40 million registered party members across
the country.
“I offer the sincere apologies of the national chairman who is unavoidably absent due to urgent state engagements. He asked me to stand in for him and extend his goodwill and that of the entire members to you, the government of DPRK and of course, The Workers Party of Korea,” he said.
“The APC is the governing party in Nigeria and is the
largest political party in Africa, going by the figures of its just-concluded
membership registration which stands at over 40 million registered members.
“The bilateral relations between Nigeria and DPRK go as far
back as 1976, and in recent times, our two countries have collaborated in the
areas of educational and technological development.”
On his part, the ambassador said the increase in APC’s
membership is an indication of the party’s policies in the country.
“The increase in the membership shows the popularity of the
party and also the just policies of the APC government. I hope that the party
achieves greater success in taking the Nigerian people to the Next Level,” he
said through an interpreter.
“Our two countries have long standing relations of
friendship and cooperation. The leaders of the two countries and its people
rejoice with the creative achievements which both countries are making.”
