President Bola Tinubu has called on the leadership of the party to embrace accountability in all forms, especially with respect to financial discipline and in the active promotion of top-level women and youth participation in the day-to-day operations of the party.
He gave the charge at the opening of the party’s National Caucus meeting in Abuja.
The National Leader of APC noted that the future of the APC belonged to young people and women in Nigeria, considering their proven dedication and demonstrable prowess in election matters.
“Our party also needs to be more gender friendly, and we need more participation from the youths because they own our tomorrow. They are very dedicated election masters,” President Tinubu implored.
The President detailed decisions he has taken so far to reform the country’s economy, reiterating that Nigeria cannot continue to sustain the treasury-depleting fuel subsidy and losses incurred by the past foreign exchange management regime.
The Acting APC National Chairman, Senator Abubakar Kyari commended President Tinubu on his economy reforms and presented two memoranda to the National Caucus, which were the Appointment of External Auditors and Filling of Vacant Party Offices.
The two major party positions which the Caucus considered are that of the National Chairmanship and National Secretary seats that will be filled by the National Executive Council at its next scheduled meeting for on Thursday.
Party leaders in attendance included the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, former National Chairmen, Chief Bisi Akande, Chief John Oyegun, as well as serving governors, former governors and National Assembly members.
Former President Muhammadu Buhari, who was not at the meeting, in a tweet conveyed his apologies, saying he had other commitments.
