2023 Campaign: APC Support Groups Ask Party To Rejig Reward System

By Akombo Aondona, Abuja

National Coordinator, All Progressives Congress (APC) National Coalition for Mass Mobilisation 2023, Comrade Musa Aliyu Otigba, has advised the National chairman, APC, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu to pay more attention to the reward system emplaced for the supporters’ groups of the party for the purposes of effective campaign for the APC in the 2023 General Election.

 Otigba stated this while speaking exclusively with selected journalists at the APC National Secretariat, Abuja.

  He said supporters’ groups remained the veritable foot soldiers of the party hence the need to take adequate care of them by the party authorities, especially to reinforce their capacity to attract more Nigerians to the APC fold.

  Otigba implored Nigerians to vote for the APC in the 2023 general elections so that the party can build on the foundation laid for the country by President Muhammadu Buhari. 

  His words: “We are for the party. We are to ensure that APC wins elections. We are not for any particular aspirant. All the aspirants contesting for the presidency on the platform of our party are all qualified to be president of Nigeria and we know that one of them will emerge at the primaries.

“When the primaries are over, we will all start talking to the people of Nigeria that they should vote for APC again come 2023. So we are mobilising the grassroots ahead of the election.

“However, the issue of reward system is a serious one in APC. We want to believe that the new leadership of Abdullahi Adamu will not take the issue of reward system for granted. They will do everything to support the support groups. We are the foot soldiers of the party and we are doing our best. 

“But it is unfortunate that APC reward system is not encouraging. We have that hope and strong belief that the Abdullahi Adamu-led NWC will reward or recognise support groups that are doing well.

“APC has spent 7 years. 7 years is not enough to say a party has failed or succeeded. That is why we are asking for more chance, more opportunity for the APC to prove itself.

 “Buhari has done his best and his tenure will expire in 2023 and another person will take over and continue with the good areas he did and then those areas that he did not do well according to the assessment of Nigerians, the new person will improve on them.”
