Also expected are former presidents who are APC members, APC lawmakers in the National Assembly, and other key stakeholders of the party.

According to Dr. Kenneth, “The summit will afford the APC leaders the opportunity to review the party’s performance as a ruling political party,dialogue on how to move the country forward and unite the party leaders more ahead of future elections.”

While commending the initiative, Dr. Kenneth noted that the summit would also serve as a platform to highlight President Tinubu’s achievements that have not received adequate attention.

“As a forum, we believe that this summit is coming at the right time. By 29th of this month of May, it will be two good years that our amiable President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took over. So as a responsible party, the Ganduje’s NWC has provided this platform to showcase many achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda that have been under reported or the opposition parties have refused to see. We commend the National Working Committee for that.

“We, however, call on all the delegates to the summit to attend with a open mind and engage on productive dialogue that will solidify our party, evangelise it to more Nigerians and drive APC to victories in future elections.

“This summit should also bring onboard different interests and groups and find a way to accommodate all interests, including those that are just joining the fold.”

The Forum also urged Nigerians to continue backing the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu, noting that progress has begun to reflect in key areas of the economy.

“We believe that this national summit is in the interest of Nigerians and the nation. In due time, Nigerians will totally ignore the noisy opposition parties and their figures, and embrace the Renewed Hope Agenda,” the statement stated.
