All Progressive Congress, (APC) has welcomed the existence of the newly launched Coalition for Nigeria Movement.
The
ruling party also said the movement is never a threat to its own
existence, noting that the only threat it can begin to worry about lies
with the Nigerian people.
The National Publicity Secretary of the
APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, stated this on Wednesday while reacting
to the official flag off of the group in Abuja.
“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,” he was quoted
by PUNCH Newspaper to have said.
