The All Progressives Congress (APC) has been urged to concentrate on strengthening its current structure. Former Acting National Secretary Waziri Bulama made this point during an interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” programme, noting that one of the APC’s legacy parties, the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), no longer exists as a separate entity.
Bulama explained that the CPC has been fully absorbed into the APC, taking its ideals, aspirations and commitments with it. He highlighted that the key figures who met former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar were former CPC leaders from Adamawa State, who had previously rallied under the now‑defunct party before its dissolution in 2013. The meeting with Abubakar was seen as an attempt to revive the CPC, but Bulama and other party members, led by Senator Tanko Al‑Makura, dismissed it as a false and mischievous effort to disrupt the APC.
According to Bulama, the APC has moved on from its legacy parties, and it is essential for the party to channel its energies toward strengthening its present structure. The CPC was one of the parties that merged to form the APC in 2013, aiming to create a stronger opposition to the then‑ruling party. Since then, the APC has become a major force in Nigerian politics, and its leaders are working to maintain unity and stability within the party.
By emphasizing that the CPC no longer exists, Bulama is encouraging party members to focus on the APC’s present and future rather than revisiting past legacies. As the APC continues to navigate Nigeria’s complex political landscape, its ability to maintain cohesion and direction will be crucial to its success. Recognizing the absorption of its legacy parties allows the APC to build a stronger, more unified front, and Bulama’s statement serves as a reminder of the importance of moving forward and reinforcing the party’s current structure.
