During a strategic meeting with APC leaders and supporters, the Minister of State for Federal Capital Territory Administration, Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, expressed her determination to revive the All Progressives Congress (APC) presence in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Dr. Mahmoud emphasized the need for dedication and unity among party members, acknowledging the challenges faced by the APC in past elections in the FCT. She assured attendees that the party would overcome these hurdles in future elections.
Highlighting the importance of honesty and transparent communication, the Minister stressed the necessity of open dialogue within the party. She urged members to communicate effectively and work together towards the common goal of advancing the party’s interests.
