The All Progressives Congress has said
former President Olusegun Obasanjo, was
sympathetic to the cause of the party
because of his desire for positive change
in 2015. Deputy National Chairman (North)
of the All Progressives Congress, Senator
Lawal Shuaibu said this in an interview
with reporters in Abuja, on Sunday. He
noted that the former President who is still
an active member of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party, was like most Nigerians;
desirous of an end to maladministration
and impunity. According to him, while it
was true that Obasanjo is not a card
carrying member of the APC, his interest in
bringing about a change in the way things
are done is glaring.
Shuaibu said, “We don’t have any
connection with Obasanjo other than
Obasanjo sympathising with anybody that
could effect change in this country. “He is
not a member of our party mind you, he is
still a PDP man but for the fact that he is
a former democratic President in this
country people listen to him. “More often
than not, some people go to seek for his
advice both from PDP, APC and other
parties. But he is interested in the type of
change we are driving at, so he is to a
certain extent sympathetic with the APC.”
He noted that there was nothing wrong
with the APC receiving members of the
PDP who have come to realise their
mistakes. The APC chieftain said the party
has put in place a machinery to ensure
strict adherence to its policies and
programmes as contained in its manifesto.
He explained that parties which came
together to form the APC have all agreed
to adhere strictly to the code of conduct
as well as ethics enshrined in the founding
principles of the new party. Shuaibu also
assured Nigerians that the APC will strictly
observe the provisions of its constitution
and the party manifesto as well as ensure
the supremacy of the party. Reacting to
the over N21 billion raised by PDP to fund
President Jonathan’s re-election, Shuaibu
said his party was not worried. He,
however, said that of the APC will be
transparent and made public in a manner
consistent with its avowed commitment to
transparency.
