National Chairmanship hopeful of the All Progressives Congress and former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, on Tuesday said it is impossible for the party to fix the destruction of 16 years by the Peoples Democratic Party in three years.
However, Oshiomhole said there is genuine commitment on the part of APC to address those problems bedevilling the country.
The former governor, who made this known when his campaign train landed in the Senate to solicit for votes, said together the party can be re-branded.
He said: “I believe that working and getting support from all of you that together we can re-brand our party, strengthen it, give it a more positive image, giving our owners a sense of ownership and participation and together we will confront the forthcoming election and remind Nigerians that even if we haven’t fixed all the problems, there is no question that there is a genuine commitment to begin to address those problems and that we can’t fix it three years what was destroyed in 16 years and a journey of a million miles starts with one correct step.
“We have duty to reassure Nigerians that this party is capable of delivering and sustaining the change that we promised.”
Oshiomhole said if elected National Chairman of the APC, he would make the party a true progressives party.
He said: “I think to call our party All Progressives Congress with emphasis on progressing, we seek to make a difference that our party is pro-people, people-centered.
“It should be people driven.
“It is owned by its members and it is driven by its members and the basis of our contract is the constitution of the party, which we voluntarily formulated and adopted at the previous convention.”
In his remark, the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, said with Oshiomhole’s capacity and ability, he will be able to do the things he says he will do and be able to take on the challenges that are necessary.
