Nigeria’s vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, has stated that the Buhari administration and the ruling All Progressives Congress remain committed to the welfare of the common man because the APC is a people’s party that will continue to ensure that the common man benefits as much as possible from the government.
This was said by Osinbajo on Friday when he received a delegation of the APC Professionals Forum at the Statehouse in Abuja on a courtesy call.
Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, revealed this in a statement headed ‘Why APC is focused on the ordinary man’s welfare, by Osinbajo’, which he signed on Saturday.
According to him, “This is a party of the common man, a party of the people, a party that takes as its cradle, the importance of ensuring that the common man benefits maximally from the government which is why we have the big programmes like the Social Investment Programmes, the largest if its kind in the continent and several of such other programmes that emphasize how serious we take the lot of the common man.”
Despite the fact that the party was founded roughly nine years ago, the Vice President stated that it has had an effect and is committed to improving the lives of Nigerians.
“We are the ruling party in Africa’s largest democracy which by itself is a phenomenal achievement for such a young party. But you’ll find that in the particular ideological direction of our party, it’s one that it was clear to the founders of the party, the initial persons and groups that came together to form the party and they came from different parties. Still, it was to present a left of centre, a social democratic alternative to the ruling part.”
Osinbajo went on to say that the APC is committed to the country’s continued progress, saying that the party “carries the dreams and expectations of millions of Nigerians.”
According to him, the party is more than just a platform for politicians to fight for office; it also represents the hopes and expectations of millions of Nigerians, “and we must make it a place where people feel at ease, a place where they feel this belongs to us.” We can even invest our resources in it; it is not only for politicians, but for all of us.”
To the visiting delegation, he said, “It is the role this Professional Forum must take on to itself. And what it entails aside from that logical objective of the Forum; what it entails is defining in writing in various ways what our party stands for.
“There are many people that say, well, we have not done this, we have not done that. There are so many ways of looking at it, but the truth of the matter is that the party was committed and is seen across the country as a party of the common man, which is why I think the role of the Professionals Forum is particularly important because we are trying to shape the ideology of the party.
“If the professionals cannot do that, then our party becomes all comers; anything goes so long as we have a platform to run for political office. But I think that we, especially professionals, have a unique advantage.”
Because of its leadership and the quality of professionals on its board of trustees and as members, Osinbajo expressed hope that the Forum, which is made up of professional elites, will be of great benefit to the party and Nigeria. He noted that the Forum’s members “are not just politicians, but people who have distinguished themselves” in their respective fields.
