A national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has charged members to unite and not lose sight of the party’s purpose.
The APC chieftain also commended the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for assenting to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.
This was disclosed on Thursday in a statement signed by Tinubu’s media director, Mr Tunde Rahman.
Rahman stated, “Recently, President Buhari made a characteristically concise and important statement regarding the strength and purpose of our political party, the All Progressives Congress. 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.
“While the election season is upon us and politics begins to acquire heavy intensity, we must never lose sight of this higher purpose, this greater good. Like the President said, we all must recall how progressive forces forged an alliance that produced the APC.
“Let us be guided by the progressive and enlightened reason for the party. If we do so, the party shall neither go astray nor be driven by personal agenda and competitions that can become so heated and turn into animus. Let us be more united in the democratic purpose and practice.”
Tinubu also called on the APC not to descend into the ways of other parties.

He added, “Let not the APC descend into the ways and rank of the other parties. Instead, may we strive to be an exemplar for a caring and democratic society. Only in this manner can we ensure the legacy of the party, while leading our nation to its greater improvement.
“We must also commend our President for assenting to the 2022 amendments to the Electoral Act. The new law will hopefully aid in the national pursuit of the fairest elections possible. As such, the Act may prove to be a historic milestone on our nation’s democratic journey.”
