Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has stated that “our people, the Nigerian people, need hope; they need to be able to believe in the Politicians; they need to be able to believe in their Leaders, and if the Leaders are within the political party, that political party must have an ideology that is attractive to them, that makes them feel wanted, that makes them feel cared for, and I think that role is so crucial”,
The Vice President stated this on Friday, when he received a Delegation of the APC Professionals Forum, at the State House, in Abuja.
A statement by his Media Aide, Laolu Akande, quoted the Vice President as saying: “This is a party of the common man, a party of the people, a party that takes as its cradle, the importance of ensuring that the common man benefits maximally from the government, which is why we have the big programmes like the social investment programmes – the largest of its kind on the continent, and several of such other programmes that emphasise how serious we take the lot of the common man.
“You will find that in the particular ideological direction of our party, it is one that it was clear to the original founders of the party, the initial persons and groups that came together to form the party, and they came from different parties, but it was to present a left of centre, a social democratic alternative to the ruling party.”
“We must make it a place where they (Nigerians) are comfortable, a place where they feel this belongs to us. We can even put our resources into it; it is not just for Politicians; it is for us all.
“Our people, the Nigerian people, need hope; they need to be able to believe in the Politicians; they need to be able to believe in their Leaders, and if the Leaders are within the political party, that political party must have an ideology that is attractive to them, that makes them feel wanted, that makes them feel cared for, and I think that role is so crucial.
“It is the role this Professional Forum must take on to itself. And what it entails aside from that logical objective of the Forum; what it entails is actually defining in writing in various ways what our party stands for.”
