Part of the statement read:
“With all the challenges in the country, APC is the only party that is working to address them. Our leaders are not in denial and are responding to the challenges.
“Our party, APC, is the only party in the country whose leadership has acknowledged its internal problems and have initiated processes of resolving its internal problems.
“Thanks to the leadership of President Buhari, APC has been undergoing a deep-rooted rebuilding and repositioning process.”
The group also announced that it will embark on showcasing the national and sub-national achievements of APC administration with facts and empirical evidence, on weekly basis.
According to the statement, Nigerians have every reason to expect that governments at all levels, must efficiently and effectively resolve all challenges.
Meanwhile, Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River, on Thursday, May 27 said he joined the APC for the benefit of the state.
Ayade said this while addressing APC youth groups who held a rally to welcome him to the party at the governor’s office in Calabar, the state capital.
The governor recently defected to the APC after almost a decade as a member of the PDP.
In a related development, a chieftain of the APC in Kaduna state, Alhaji Muhammadu Murtala has said that the party’s decision to open its 2023 presidential ticket will not affect the presidential ambition of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Tinubu, the national leader of the ruling APC is one of the leading aspirants for the party's presidential ticket ahead of the 2023 polls.
Murtala, a staunch supporter of Tinubu in the northwest region of the country, made the comment during a chat with a national newspaper.
