We are not the ANPP or CPC, we are the 252,000 strong APC - El-Rufai The Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Malam Nasir el-Rufai is speaking again. He has advised Anambra to vote for the right candidate, during the November 16 governorship election. He was speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.... The APC chieftain in his portrait of a good leader, said such a leader was “as a self-actualised personality who is ready to serve the people and be accountable for his actions”. El-Rufai commended the people of the state for their “warm reception” of the party, citing the huge number of people who came out during APC membership registration drive in the state. “Out of 252,000 members of APC registered in Anambra State, 73,000 of them turned out to vote in the primaries that we held.” The deputy national secretary took exception to folks who called themselves members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) in the state. “I don’t know about who is an ANPP or CPC in Anambra State, because the moment the parties had their conventions and resolved to merge into APC in July, the old parties ceased to exist. ”So, it is strange to us as leaders of APC, to hear of anybody claiming to be an ANPP or CPC leader in Anambra State. “All the people going round making claims that they are members of the CPC or ANPP are political mercenaries. You are either a member of the APC or you are somewhere else.”
