Bukie Okangbe, made this known on Friday while speaking with journalists at the National Secretariat of the APC.<\/p>\n<p>She said while the group was mindful of the happenings in the country, especially with hardship and hunger faced by many families and households, pleaded with Nigerians to bear with the President and have faith in the administration.<\/p>\n<p>Okangbe stated: \u201cIt is on this note that the National Progressive Hub is calling on party faithfuls and members to rally round the leaders of our party for a greater victory in the next election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe game is gradually building up as many political parties and members are mending fences to challenge the All Progressive Congress hence, a signal that we have to sit up as a united family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ongoing alignment of political parties and politicians in the country shows obviously that some are ready to match up with us come 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are confident though that Nigerians are with us more than they were during the last elections due to the leadership quality of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said as a party, APC needs to show more understanding with the government of the day than the general public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that no amount of political alignment or strategies can vote us out in 2027 if we are united. The strength of APC lies in the faithfulness of its members and so the more we pull our leaders down in public, the more we make the opposition stronger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is now getting worse that some progressive members are doing the work of opposition parties which is a sad reality. It is our hope that this press release would put a magic stop to our internal party rancour and make our party stronger and better going forward as progressives that we are\u201d, she added.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the wake of reports by a Labour Party LP chieftain, Prof. Pat Utomi that opposition parties were galvanizing forces to send the ruling All Progressives Congress APC packing in&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
