President Muhammadu Buhari is worried about the future of the All Progressive Congress (APC) after his tenure, hence wants to make it resilient with the ongoing party’s membership revalidation and registration exercise, former Senate President Ken Nnamani, has said.
He said this while featuring on a television programme on Friday.
Nnamani, who is the Chairman of President Buhari Committee on Electoral Amendment, said Buhari understands the need for leaving a strong legacy and his actions has signaled that he wants to leave a strong party long after he has left office.
He said, “he wants us to start from the foundation. It is not the first time the party is doing registration or revalidation. But since the last time we did it, there have been those who were 18 years and would like to participate and those that have passed on. We have to update the register. It is in accordance with the constitution.
“After this registration, we will be talking about congresses and after congresses, we move into conventions, and that would put the party on a very strong footing.”
The former lawmaker said it may be difficult for APC to produce a candidate like the President for the 2023 presidential election, and urged the stakeholders in the ruling party to consider a candidate from the South-East zone for president in the next general elections.
