That issue will arise later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd not only that we are coming out with a new blueprint to increase the followership of the party and this includes all strata of officials; those who are in APC and those who are in other political parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI assure you, very soon some of the political parties will even merge with the APC. We are doing that underground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Lalong said he was at the party\u2019s secretariat to congratulate Ganduje and see how to support him in running the party.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAs the national chairman, Ganduje was governor, as a matter of fact, when we look at his antecedents, we always say he is the longest experienced politician that we have within us. Because he is somebody who was very long in the civil service, he became permanent secretary, commissioner, longest serving deputy governor and became governor. So with this kind of experience, what else do you need in party matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
