23 Governors Now In APC - Lai Mohammed

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), says 23 governors are already in the fold of the All Progressive Congress (APC).



Mohammed spoke in Lagos at the 7th Town Hall Meeting of Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, representing Lagos Central.

He said 12 more governors had signified interest to join the APC in addition to the 11 already in the fold.

“The 12 governors will make their declarations after the party has been registered, possibly in two weeks time.

“We are likely to get our registration certificate by the end of June or second week of July,” the ACN spokesman said.

He explained that the delay in submitting the new party’s application to INEC was caused by “the complexity of merging.’’

“Merging is not an easy process, it is complicated. Aside from the name, constitution and logo change, each of the merging parties must hold special conventions to adopt the merger.

“The merger forming APC comprises ACN, Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Grand Progressive Alliance (APGA) and the Democratic People’s Party (DPP).”



In her speech, Tinubu, who is the wife of a former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, described APC as “an assurance of hope for Nigeria.’’

She said:“Without the genuine change and development being advocated by our great movement — APC, Nigeria risks further descent into the abyss of underdevelopment and backwardness.’’

On the bill seeking special status for Lagos, the senator said no effort would be spared to achieve it.

Tinubu disclosed that the three senators from Lagos had sponsored a bill seeking provision of financial grants to the state in the constitution, in recognition of its status as the nation’s economic hub.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tinubu distributed free November/December General Certificate Examination (GCE) forms to 220 youths in the senatorial district.

She had earlier inaugurated the Post-Secondary School Scholarship Scheme, the Elderly Citizens Assistance Scheme and the Petty Traders Empowerment Capital Scheme as her constituency projects.

Gov. Babatunde Fashola’s wife, Abimbola; a former Minister of State for Defence, Chief Demola Seriki; and the State Chairman of ACN, Chief Henry Ajomole, were among dignitaries who graced the occasion.

I beg to disagree with your line of thought as Action Congress of Nigeria is the habit of feeding very competent and proven men and women for electoral offices. I have no doubth whatsoever that APC will be a huge success apart from providing alternative for Nigerians, it will also put the PDP on the toes to perform as against what is obtainable today, especially in the fight against corruption, et al...

We already know d gov's.those 19 dat voted amaechi,plus absentee yobe,kwara,enugu,delta.Gej is going.

Lie Mohammed is only doing his name justice. Telling lies every other day.

how is that supposed to be a sign of victory when u fuckin knw it's the people who will vote? unless of course as usual, in relation to nigerian politics, the governor means free rigging in those states. which will occur at each states inec HQ.

Old wine in new bottle! Where then is the change we are clamouring for? Is this all about having governors defect to your party? I thought there was something serious in the offing

You mean incompetent PDP will suddenly become competent once they join ACN? Or the said governors will immediately relinquish their seats for competent ACN administrators who are waiting in line?

Why are we discussing as if we see value in these claims of Good Governance ... from the same under-performing, criminally corrupt PDP governors?? just because they have joined APC . it only means one thing.. APC=PDP no matter how you wax it.. a little drop of piss can soil a glass-full of clean water. imagine half a glass of piss (PDP) in the APC Glass..

Do the governors suddenly leave their ideology wen dey defect to APC? Is this not a case of Old wine in New bottles?

To me the APC is being infiltrated by the PDP but because of their greed for power they'll never see the big pit of defeat that the PDP has arranged for them...smh

why can't APC keep it a secret and give us a plan on what they we do in favor of the public?

this APC sef no get liver

Typical Lai Mohammed, already blowing fireworks before the party starts...12 more governors had signified interest to join the APC....lets wait and see.

People in pdp will definitely lose sleep over this announcement. This is bad for pdp, all apc governors have to do is deliver their states to the apc presidential candidate and pdp is out.

PDP Problem has never be an individual peoblem.I think there is much to that name because no matter how u may good as an individual,if you join them(in PDP)you will become something else.[s]PEOPLE DEVEILS PARTY[s]I guess.

Bloody lie. It's on record that ACN has always outsourced their presidential candidates from the PDP. In 2003, as AD they adopted OBJ. In 2007, they hired Atiku. In 2011, they went for OBJ boy, Ribadu and sold him out in d dying minute for the PDP candidate, GEJ. For 2015, they are already shopping for Tambuwal.

Who is fooling who?
