The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has said the party unseated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015 because of its effective communication system across the states during the campaigns.
Chief Oyegun disclosed this in Abuja while speaking at an external communications workshop for the party’s States’ Publicity Secretaries organized with the support of the International Republican Institute (IRI).
He said the APC was able to sell to Nigerians the change agenda as well as the message of hope and true transformation built on efficient management of government resources.
The APC national chairman, who said the difficult situation of the country had made the job of the party spokespersons a tough one, stressed that the success or failure of the party relied on how well they were able to handle the task amid criticisms.
He said, “Now that we are no longer in the opposition but have formed the government at the federal level and in 24 states, there is more work to be done. We need to sell our programmes and vision to our people even with greater vigour.”
The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, in his remarks, said the transition of government in Nigeria had shifted the role of the party’s spokespersons, being the current governing party.
