NATIONAL: APC will become model of democracy for nations – Yahaya Bello

KOGI State Governor, Yahaya Bello has said the forthcoming registration exercise by the ruling All Progressives Congress will mark the beginning of the party’s unprecedented reign in Africa and the world at large.

Bello stressed that the registration and revalidation exercise would strengthen the ruling party’s clout which will be leveraged across board to emerge victorious at every election in the country.

He added that the magnitude of the party’s successive successes at the pool would make even the developed nations to come and learn the secret of repeated electoral victories from it.

The governor spoke at the APC National Secretariat, Abuja, after his inauguration as the Chairman of the APC Women and Youth Sensitisation and Mobilisation Committee for the party’s membership and revalidation exercise scheduled to commence on January 25th, 2021.

Bello said, “I want to assure you that we shall move to the field immediately. We are going to swing into action. We are going to liaise with every stakeholder within the party and across party lines. We are going to generate serious awareness.

“The APC will continue to win every election in this country. By the time we are done and all the registration of new members and revalidation of existing members are done in the country, APC will not just be the largest in Africa but we’re going to call on even the developed nations to come and learn from APC in Nigeria.”

Bello, who took a swipe at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), maintained that the APC would become ” an institution of political and politics in Nigeria.”

“We shall even teach some of our brothers who have just concluded elections that were rancorous. I will not mention names but we’re going to be an institution of political and politics in Nigeria.”

The PDP, at the height of its reign as the ruling party in 2003, made the same claim that it would rule perpetually and become a model for party formation and management in Africa and beyond.

The party’s reign as “ruling party”, however, lasted for 16 years as the APC wrested the reins of power at the centre from it in 2015.
