He said while it is okay for members of the party to pursue their personal goals, it is also important for them to ensure that they keep the collective purpose of the APC in mind.
His words:
“Recently, President Buhari made a characteristically concise and important statement regarding the strength and purpose of our political party, APC.
“He underscored the need for the party to perfect its internal processes so that it keeps faith in the progressive purpose for which it was founded: to bring forth a better society through just and compassionate good governance."
Tinubu said that the APC was founded to ensure progressive governance in Nigeria and President Buhari won the 2015 election on that basis.
He noted that the essential task of fundamental reform and improvement of society has not been completed.
He said:
“We still have vital work to do. But the work can only be done by a party that is democratic and fair in governing itself as well as in governing the nation.
“This means that while people pursue their political goals they must also and always keep the greater collective purpose in mind. Let us be guided by the progressive and enlightened reason for the party.”
