Bolaji Abdullahi, National Publicity Secretary for the APC

 

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has welcomed the launching of the newly-formed Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM).

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi while reacting to the official flag off of the movement in Abuja on Wednesday said the movement was not a threat to the existence of the APC.

“The prospect of a coalition does not threaten the APC at all. The only threat we can begin to worry about lies with the Nigerian people.

“If it is about competition for power, how many political parties do we have? That is enough reason for us to worry about competition. If another coalition is set up for the purpose of winning power, good-luck to them, that is the essence of constitutional democracy, a multi-party system thrives in that kind of situation.

“So, we don’t feel any threat, we don’t feel concerned, they are welcome to the field,” Abdullahi said.
