Members of the committee included Governor Abdulahi Sule of Nasarawa state, former Governor Ibikunle Amosun, former Senators Adesoji Akanbi, Musiliu Obanikoro, as well as Hon Abba Jatua, and Hon. Usani Uguru Usani.

It would be recalled that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was conceived as a mass movement party.

During the 2015 election, the party benefited heavily from the popularity of President Mohammadu Buhari.

This popularity, according to the party,  needs to be reinvigorated. As a result of this, the newly inaugurated high-powered committee is expected to evaluate where the party stands, what is needed to retain power ahead of the 2023 general elections and suggest ideas or initiative that can enhance APC’s stature as a mass oriented party.

Also, the committee is charged with the responsibility of making APC the party for all Nigerian.

According to the ruling party, the committee is further charged to “explore ways and means of reaching out to party supporters. (Party supporters not necessarily party members) to ensure their support is not waning.

“Research and find ways to make the party attractive to youths and women who constitutes the major voting bloc in Nigeria.

“Create a framework for headhunting talented individuals from different parts of the country to enhance the pull of talent within the party.

“At the national level, solicit the good will of major religious groups such as; CAN, Catholic Bishops Conference, ULAMA, Students Union Leadership and other such organisations.

“Create the basis for viable relationship with the apex organs of the various socio-cultural groupings in the country, working in synergy with the regional sub-committees.

“Establish creative ways of reaching teenagers who will in the nearest future mature into the voting population”.

The meeting was held at the State House, Abuja on Sunday.

The meeting was disclosed by Bashir Ahmad, the president’s media aide, in a tweet

The tweet reads: “Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State visits President Buhari this afternoon at the State House, Abuja.”

This may be connected with the suspension of Amosun and the Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha by the NWC of the APC on Friday for anti-party activities.

Also suspended by the APC NWC over anti-party activities were the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Pastor Usani Uguru Usani, and the Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Osita Okechukwu.

Amosun has overtime campaigned for Adekunle Akinlade, the governorship candidate of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Ogun State.

Amosun said the title was well deserved.

This was contained in a statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Chief Adedayo Adeneye, on Monday in Abeokuta.

The statement added that Adams being named the Generalissimo of Yorubaland should serve as a tonic for other Yoruba, who desired to uphold the core values of the race.

The statement reads, ”The pains Gani Adams suffered for the emancipation of the Yorubas, particularly in the struggles for the validation of the annulled June 12, 1993 Presidential election, presumed to have been won by our own late Chief MKO Abiola, is still fresh in our minds.

“He was in the vanguard, as a chieftain of the OPC, in the confrontation with the military, during the June 12 struggle, to reclaim the mandate given to our son, Chief Abiola, which earned him series of detentions by the authorities.”

The governor lauded Adams for his tireless promotion of Yoruba culture and tradition.

The governor stated this in Abeokuta shortly after attending a book launch put together to mark the one year anniversary of the death of renowned educationist, Chief Lamidi Sofenwa.

The book titled: “Lamidi Ayinla Sofenwa: Quintessential Gentleman and Educationist: A Biography” was written by Olasumbo Martins; ‘Dele Sogbesan and ‘Biodun Odetoyin.

It was reviewed by Dr. Taofiq Salisu.

Amosun said considering the huge debt the country was plunged into before Buhari’s administration came on board, Nigerians should know that a lot work has been done to put Nigeria back on track.

He said: “If President Buhari and his administration had not come in time with rescue mission, only God knows where Nigeria would have been today.

“On this 2019 for me, the only thing that can probably prevent Mr. President from contesting is ill -health because if not for this administration of President Muhammadu Buhari only God knows where Nigeria would have been today.

“As humans, we quickly forget things. If we could be fair to this administration, they came in at a time the country was plunged into a very deep end and imagine where the country is today. We were in recession and now we are out of it and it not easy to get to this point.

“Again, I am saying it, the only thing that can stop Mr. President is ill- health. But as we can see today, Mr. President is back, rejuvenating and very soon, it would be clear for everybody to see that Mr. President is so well now.

“Meanwhile, nobody will take the fact that from the three cardinal points he set for himself, this administration has been doing tremendously well in the area of security. We all know that nothing good can happen in any country without adequate security.

“Yes, some people are saying Boko haram has not yet been conquered but if you look at America and put into consideration how many years it took them to win the war against Osama Bin Laden among others you will know that this administration should be applauded as far as security is concerned.

“The same thing in our economy. Just look at our agriculture for instance, it has never been this good. At least I am a governor and this is my seventh year. This is the first time that Nigeria is truly diversifying.”
