“We have directed our state chapters to liaise with their respective governors and other stakeholders to ensure that we have full-fledged, functional offices in every political ward to enable our members across the country to have symbolic representation in their neighbourhoods,” Ganduje said.

“I would like to reaffirm the ideals of our great party to set new standards and benchmarks in the nation’s democratic sphere and ensure the sustenance and continuation of the APC government at all levels.

“Even though it is not yet an election period, we are reinvigorating the party to ensure that, come 2027, we will retain and get new governors, as well as Mr. President, to secure another mandate to continue with his government’s policies and programmes.”

He added that the national leadership has constituted a reconciliation committee for all aggrieved members of the party.
