“As loyal party members, under the APC Legacy Awareness & Campaign, we will showcase the national and sub-national achievements of our party with facts and empirical evidence, on weekly basis.“We will be objective and support our leaders with all the necessary recommendations, so as to ensure that our party is able to achieve the goal of changing Nigeria for the better in line with the slogan of the party.“Changing Nigeria for the better require hard decisions, which are the focus of all our governments’ initiatives under the leadership of President Buhari. We will showcase these initiatives and achievements!” the APC group noted in the statement.

“We intend to present these achievements with facts and empirical evidence. On weekly basis, we will invite Nigerians to engage the issues based on specific highlights of work being executed. In particular, we will invite all committed party members to participate in the campaign.
“We will also invite opposition parties, especially the PDP to engage the issues by presenting especially what they comparatively were able to achieve when they were in power or in states where they control.
“This campaign has become necessary to prevent a situation whereby political entrepreneurs would take advantage of current challenges in the country to mislead Nigerians into believing that APC and President Buhari-led government has failed.
“No doubt there are challenges, which both the federal government and all our leaders in the party are working hard to resolve. As a group, we will do all we can to support our leaders to succeed in resolving all our national challenges.“Nigerians have every reason to expect that governments, at all levels, must efficiently and effectively resolve all challenges.
But no politician or political party should be allowed to take undue advantage of the legitimate aspirations of Nigerians for responsive and representative government

Our party, APC, is the only party in the country whose leadership has acknowledged its internal problems and have initiated processes of resolving its internal problems.” The statement read.
