Sule links APC growth to reforms

He insisted that the APC has become the safest political platform for those who want to contribute to national progress.

APC remains the only Noah’s Ark for Nigeria’s survival. We have no single reason, no excuse that will warrant us not to vote for President Bola Ahmad Tinubu. Tinubu has already changed everything in the country because of his reforms, of his hard work,” he said.

The governor added that many politicians were shifting their allegiance because they believed the party had gained renewed strength under the current administration.

He said the shift was not accidental but a direct response to what members considered a more stable and result driven ruling party.

“Anybody that is not in the APC is actually loosing the Noah’s ark. APC today is the Noah’s ark, anybody that does not join will be left behind. Everywhere is APC in Plateau because the President has done well for the people of the state,” he said.
