Newly Formed Opposition Party, APC, is also Open to Individuals: Are You Interested?

As Nigerians continue to regard with suspicion the recent merger of four major opposition parties in the country, the National Publicity Secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Rotimi Fashakin, has said that the merger will strengthen democracy and ensure better governance in Nigeria.
Mr. Fashakin, who was speaking in Abuja recently, said that one of the primary aims of the merger is to restore the lost glory of Nigeria via good governance. He said that CPC strongly believes that the success of the merger would make a great difference, soonest, in the history of Nigerian politics.
His words: “As a party, we have endorsed the entry of the All Progressive Congress, APC, into Nigeria’s politics as an ideologically based political association.” He said the APC is essentially structured to provide an alternative platform to Nigerians. He also gave the assurance that “it (APC) shall be open to all patriots that are ready to join”.

The party, he said, “has absolute respect for the rights of individuals or groups on whether or not to associate within a democracy”. He also said that other political parties, progressive individuals, and groups are also welcomed to the new party.
