President Mohammed Buhari has appealed to the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2019 elections.
The President made the appeal to the party members at the national secretariat on Wednesday while submitting his Expression of Interest and Nomination forms in a bid to return to the president’s seat in 2019.
He said: “I m here in person among friends and colleagues to put my name forward to my party, the APC, seeking nomination to contest the presidential election in 2019. I am taking this step with all humility, sense of responsibility and unquestionable desire to serve and protect the interest of all Nigerians. Let me today, appeal to party members not to be complacent but to pre,strategize and win 2019 elections. We must not allow those who brought the country to its kneels from 1999 to 2015 to come and take us back”.
The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomole also used the opportunity reveal the party’s new membership database, saying that the party currently has 15.6 million registered members
“Today to talk about the size of our party, the largest party in the world and in Africa, we need to have evidence that can be verified by a third party or by members. We have taken advantage of technology to produce what I believed is the best or the first in Nigeria. We now have as at last week when they started printing of membership register, about 15.6 million registered APC members across the country “he said.
