Former Acting National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Waziri Bulama, has stated that the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) no longer exists.
He dismissed the revival of the block, adding that the dissolution of CPC in 2013 was complete, with its structures, lawmakers and governors fully integrated into the APC.
Speaking on Wednesday during an interview with Arise News, he stated that former President Muhammadu Buhari, while he was alive, had stated that his loyalty lies with the APC.
Bulama said, “The CPC as a party no longer exists. CPC is history. What we have today is APC, and all the ideals, all the aspirations, the commitments and the undertakings of the defunct CPC have been absorbed by the APC.”
“The CPC as a party, you know, got dissolved. The entire structure of the party was dissolved along with the ACN and other parties in 2013, leading to the emergence of the APC. Even President Muhammadu Buhari himself, while alive, came out and stated that his loyalty, commitment, and convictions remain with the APC. So that seals the issue.”
Bulama stressed that recent moves by some former CPC chairmen claiming to speak for the bloc were attempts to cause division.
“The reason why we rallied under Senator Tanko Al-Makura was to respond to the false and mischievous attempt by a few of our former colleagues who wanted to disrupt and divide the APC by calling the name CPC. But CPC does not exist anymore. What exists now is APC and we have moved on.”
