Defunct CPC Chieftains Seek Inclusion In Tinubu’s Administration

Former members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), certain chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), have demanded inclusion in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

In advance of the 2015 general elections, the CPC and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), two prominent opposition political organisations, merged to become the ruling APC, according to Newsmen.

The demand was made in a statement that was made accessible to newsmen on Thursday by Mallam Abubakar Maikudi, the former CPC National Youth Leader.

He also expressed his congratulations to the present administration’s newly appointed Ministers.

He said that numerous former ACN leaders were appointed as ministers and to the highest levels of government during the rule of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

He stated that Tinubu is expected to follow suit by including former CPC leaders in his administration.

“We acknowledge that they are all competent hands with rich qualifications and extensive experience. We believe that they will assist the president to push policies and lead reforms that will take Nigeria to a greater height. They should justify the trust the President has reposed in them.

“We recall that Mr. President who was of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) bloc played very crucial roles together with former President Muhammadu Buhari of our own defunct CPC bloc in birthing the APC, which defeated then incumbent PDP in an unprecedented election in the history of Nigeria.

“Despite the fact that we have merged into APC, the various interests we represented before the merger are clear. As an experienced politician, we believe President Bola Ahmed Tinubu knows that politics involves satisfying all interests.

“A lot of defunct ACN leaders were made Ministers and given top Board appointments during the administration of PMB. It is therefore expected that the Administration of BAT will do the same by carrying along leaders of defunct CPC in his administration.

“We have competent members both in the North and South whom the President can take up for appointments. We mobilised heavily for President Tinubu during the elections. Our belief in his capacity was not in doubt. We therefore want to join his team to bring Renewed Hope to Nigerians. We recall that the President promised to run an inclusive administration,” he said.
