Caretaker committee grew APC membership from 11 million to 41 million: Buni
The registration/revalidation conducted by outgoing leadership of the All Progressives Congress saw the membership of the party rise from 11 million to 41 million, says Yobe state governor Mai Mala Buni.
Mr Buni, who is also the outgoing Chairman, APC Caretaker/Extra Ordinary Convention Committee (CECPC), said this at the APC National Convention on Saturday in Eagle Square, Abuja.
He said that the figure could rise beyond 41 million as the registration was still ongoing.
Mr Buni said the CECPC also succeeded in reconciling many aggrieved members of the party as well as attracted three serving state governors from Zamfara, Cross River and Ebonyi from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the party.
He said that the APC CECPC has been able to compete work on the party’s national secretariat in Abuja as well as settling outstanding payment for the building.
Mr Buni said the APC also renamed its secretariat after President Muhammadu Buhari in recognition of his exemplary leadership style.
He also expressed optimism the party would emerge stronger after the national convention, and lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for working tirelessly to resolve the impasse that preceded the convention.
