The All-Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday says it’s working on plans of retaining power at the federal level till 2051 extending to ninth term in office.
The Chairman of the Party Caretaker-Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, disclosed this in Abuja,while inaugurating the party’s 61-member Contact and Strategy Committee, at the APC National Secretariat.
While noting that the ruling APC needed to be in power to consolidate on the delivery of the dividends of democracy which it has been delivering since 2015.
He said the party decided to set up the high-powered committee to map out strategies and prepare grounds for the actualization of this objective.
Buni noted that the party under his leadership had achieved a lot in terms of its core mandate of reconciling aggrieved party members and attracting new members.
“Our vision is to provide a wheel that will drive the party to go beyond seventh, eighth and ninth terms of office. When we succeed in doing this, APC will definitely achieve more than what it is expected to improve the lives of Nigerians and make Nigeria a great country,” he said .
“This committee is therefore very key to our process of transition towards successful congresses and national convention and, to establish a very solid, reputable and reliable future for the party.

The APC, which toppled the Peoples Democratic Party in 2015, appeared to be treading the same path.
The PDP too at the height of its reign boasted that it would rule Nigeria for 60 years.
However, its reign lasted just 16 years.
