The All Progressives Congress National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, explained that the ongoing development at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, which includes the construction of a church, is aimed at advancing the party and the nation.
The Nigerian political arena often sees religion being exploited by politicians to secure votes.
The APC’s Muslim-Muslim ticket for the forthcoming 2023 presidential election has sparked intense discussions, with the opposition accusing the ruling party of attempting to Islamize the country.
Speaking on Thursday during a visit to the party’s national secretariat being remodeled, Ganduje said, “The innovations are for the progress of the party and the nation. Before, there was no church, nobody went to church on the premises; but now, we have a new church. We have shops to avoid street hawking around the building. And we have concrete drainage.
“The media centre in terms of its outlook and equipment, I have not seen any symbol of modern gadgets. We are not in an analogue period. But, I think what I have seen here is analogue. But, our media people are not analogue. So, let us see the media centre as a digital platform.”
