A political support group under the banner of the Progressive Voters’ Forum (PVF) has praised President Bola Tinubu and the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), chaired by Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, for organizing the party’s first-ever National Summit.
The summit, themed ‘Renewed Hope Agenda: The Journey So Far’, is scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja by 10:00 a.m.
Among the expected dignitaries are President Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, APC state governors and their deputies. Also expected are former presidents affiliated with the party, APC members of the National Assembly, and other stakeholders.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja, PVF National Coordinator Dr. Olusegun Kenneth expressed optimism about the event’s impact on party unity and national development.
He noted: “The summit will afford the APC leaders opportunity to review the party’s performance as a ruling political party, dialogue on how to move the country forward and unite the party leaders more ahead of future elections.”
Dr. Kenneth also emphasized the summit’s potential to highlight accomplishments of the Tinubu administration that may not have received sufficient public attention.
“As a forum, we believe that this summit is coming at the right time. By 29th of this month of May, it will be two good years that our amiable President Bola Ahmed Tinubu took over. So as a responsible party, the Ganduje’s NWC has provided this platform to showcase many achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda that have been under reported or the opposition parties have refused to see. We commend the National Working Committee for that.”
He called on delegates to engage constructively during the summit and focus on strengthening the party’s internal cohesion ahead of future electoral contests.
“We, however, call on all the delegates to the summit to attend with a open mind and engage on productive dialogue that will solidify our party, evangelise it to more Nigerians and drive APC to victories in future elections.
“This summit should also bring onboard different interests and groups and find a way to accommodate all interests, including those that are just joining the fold.”
The PVF also urged Nigerians to continue supporting the Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that the administration has laid a strong foundation over the past two years.
“The government has used the last two years to lay good foundation for the economy, infrastructure and wellbeing of Nigerian, and the results have started yielding as prices of commodities have started coming down, inflation dropping among others.”
“We believe that this national summit is in the interest of Nigerians and the nation. In due time, Nigerians will totally ignore the noisy opposition parties and their figures, and embrace the Renewed Hope Agenda,” the statement added.
