A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Mohammed Lukman has said the party must admit the avalanche of challenges bedevilling its resolve to fulfil its campaign promises, and redefine its campaign strategy ahead of the 2023 general election.

This want contained in a statement yesterday in Abuja, titled, “Nigeria’s challenges and need for reorientation.”

Lukman said,” Being members of the APC, we should be able to acknowledge too that although, the slogan of the APC is CHANGE, which underlines the commitment of the party and its leadership to bring about change in the country, the programmatic details as articulated in the party’s manifesto requires a mobilisation programme in order to win the support of Nigerians.

“One of the big gaps confronting the APC, which unfortunately makes it easy for opposition politicians to dent the party and its governments is the absence of mobilisation programme to engage Nigerians to take responsibility in their different fields of endeavours in responding to challenges facing the country.

“Getting Nigerians to take responsibility in their different fields of endeavours in responding to challenges facing the country is a critical success factor in terms of producing the change envisioned by the APC and its leadership as articulated in the manifesto of the party.”
