The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced plans to welcome its 33rd serving governor into the ruling party on Wednesday, ahead of its forthcoming National Convention.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Tuesday by the leadership of the party’s Digital and Media subcommittees. The committee also emphasized its goal of reaching 100 million Nigerians with the Renewed Hope message.
During the inaugural meeting held in Abuja, the Chairman of the committee and Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Bago, urged members to demonstrate commitment and sacrifice in achieving the target.
“Today we received the 32nd governor for the APC, and tomorrow we will receive the 33rd,” Bago said, encouraging members to intensify efforts toward effective communication before, during, and after the convention.
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and co-chairman of the committee, Benjamin Kalu, also charged members to promote the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to both local and international audiences.
“We are not just doing a convention. We are showcasing to the world that there is a party in Africa that believes in real democracy for the people,” Kalu stated.
Meanwhile, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Digital and New Media, Ortega Ogra, said the committee would deploy various digital tools to reach a wide audience.
“We have a target to reach at the minimum of 100 million Nigerians and, broadly speaking, 400 million people across the world, and we will do that with a combination of digital tools,” he said.
