The Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Nigeria, H.E. Ahmed El Kachach on Wednesday paid a courtesy visit to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Governor Mai Mala Buni at the Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
Addressing the Palestinian Ambassador who led a five-member delegation, the APC CECPC National Secretary, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe who represented Governor Buni noted the cooperation and understanding between the State of Palestine and the Nigerian government.
Akpanudoedehe noted how Nigerians massively voted for the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government in 2015 to save the country from the rot and abyss the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government had plunged the country.
“Despite inherited challenges, particularly the economic recession, President Buhari hit the ground running by undertaking multi-sector reforms, diversifying the economy and implementing social investment programmes which have benefited millions of Nigerians, especially the poor.
“It is no longer business as usual were the past PDP administrations looted and shared our national resources. The President Buhari has curbed corruption and theft. Our national resources are now invested massively in people-oriented programmes and critical infrastructure across the country.
At party level, Akpanudoedehe stated that the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC Caretaker committee has returned the party to the people by entrenching internal democracy in nomination and decision making processes of the Party.
“With a membership strength of over 40 million following the successful nationwide Party membership registration, revalidation and register update excercise, the APC is unarguably the most accepted, sought after and largest political party.
Akpanudoedehe told the Palestinian Ambassador that he would relate details of the meeting, particulary their clamours to the CECPC National Chairman for onward communication to the government.
The CECPC Secretary was accompanied by the Director of Administration, Alh. Abubakar Suleiman; Director of Publicity, Salisu Na’inna Dambatta; Director of Organisation; Prof. Ussiju Medaner; Director of Welfare, Dr. Anietie Ofong; Director of Finance, Abubakar Suleiman and Director of Research, Planning and Strategy, Barr. Barth Ugwoke.
