The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has opened up on the innovation being made to the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, including the building of a church on the premises, saying it’s for the progress of the party and the nation.
Religion is often a factor in the Nigerian political landscape where politicians exploit it to garner votes.
Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC had generated heated debates, with the opposition saying the ruling party planned to Islamise the country.
Speaking on Thursday during a visit to the party’s national secretariat being remodeled, Ganduje said, “The innovations are for the progress of the party and the nation. Before, there was no church, nobody went to church on the premises; but now, we have a new church. This shows our Muslim-Muslim ticket at Presidency was not an intent to islamise Nigeria as popularly said during electioneering. We have shops to avoid street hawking around the building. And we have concrete drainage.
“The media centre in terms of its outlook and equipment, I have not seen any symbol of modern gadgets. We are not in an analogue period. But, I think what I have seen here is analogue. But, our media people are not analogue. So, let us see the media centre as a digital platform. We’ll quickly move on and do something about it,” Ganduje said./PLEASE SHARE
