Abba Ibrahim made the statement in Abuja over the much-awaited conduct of the APC national convention. He said Governor Buni’s led CECPC has set the party on a trajectory of success adding that it cannot fail Nigerians.

“As I said recently, his reforms may not be acceptable to desperate politicians unrelenting in their craft to take control of the party structures for their selfish interest, but posterity will surely be kind to this gentleman, who is doing great service to our great party since 2014 when he became the first National Secretary of the APC that helped the party to power”.
“I believe God is always with him and other members of the APC as whatever assignments he shoulders he succeeds despite the challenges.
He also said that sponsored attackers and desperate politicians are out to run down the Governor’s unprecedented achievements.
He added that “Despite the myriad of challenges, and amidst sponsored attacks and desperate politicians working for personal interest, the Governor Buni led Caretaker Committee has racked up several achievements in repositioning the party, most of them unprecedented.
“As National Secretary, with other progressive Nigerians who can best be described as change agents, he fought a political battle to stop the PDP’s 16 years’ misrule, and that explains his passion for the progress of the party and Nigeria in general.
“It is said that everything happens for a reason, that Governor Buni is in charge of APC at this time is not mere coincidence, his productive years as the National Secretary that saw him reaching the peak of his career, his various positions within and outside the party, his experience, his unmatched demeanour and, above all, his wisdom have all helped to stabilize the APC at the most difficult of times.”
Reeling out the Governor Buni led CECPC achievements, Abba said that the leadership had set the party on the path of success with a verifiable party membership register; entrenched strong internal democracy in candidate nomination processes and congresses; provided a well thought out long-term strategic plan and party programmes that will pull together all organisational dimensions to win elections”.
