We came to pay our respects to the former president and also to update him on the achievements of our great party since his departure. We assured him that we would continue to keep him informed regularly,\u201d Ganduje said.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to speculation that Atiku\u2019s visit was a political strategy, Ganduje dismissed any concerns, describing it as an \u201cattempt at repeating history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat visit is of no concern to us. It\u2019s just another attempt at repeating history, but it won\u2019t work. What they are trying to build is not viable. Some particles simply cannot come together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While he avoided revealing details, the APC chairman hinted that the party had strategic plans to counter opposition moves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe won\u2019t disclose our intricacies or technicalities, but we are equal to the task. The progress President Tinubu has made is strengthening the party even further,\u201d Ganduje stated.<\/p>\n<p>He also expressed confidence in APC\u2019s continued political dominance, saying the party plans to expand beyond the 21 states it currently governs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome governors may join us, or we may defeat them at the polls. Either way, we are expanding our reach. We\u2019re comfortable with where we are, but we are not resting on our oars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBigwigs from other parties are joining us. The few who left don\u2019t matter in the bigger picture,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>On criticisms surrounding federal appointments under the Tinubu administration, Ganduje argued that appointments are being fairly distributed and that the party is compiling data to prove it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAppointments are dynamic. Over time, you will see balance. We are working on statistics to show there\u2019s no bias in the president\u2019s appointments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
