This was disclosed in a statement signed by Hon. Bukky Okangbe, the national coordinator of the NPH, on Sunday, August 11.
TimesNow.com.ng gathers that the celebration will take the form of a symposium, which will bring together serving and non-serving governors, members of the National Assembly, cabinet members, APC leaders, and major support groups.
The event aims to brainstorm ways forward for the party and discuss leadership challenges encountered by various political parties in the country.
Professor Abiodun Adeniyi, Dean of the School of Postgraduate Studies at Baze University, Abuja, will present a keynote address titled “Political Party Leadership in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects.”
Eminent Nigerians and party leaders, including Osita Okechukwu, Arch. Waziri Bulama and Barrister Alphonsus Eba Ogar will discuss the paper.
The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Jibrin Barau, will chair the occasion, while the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas and Minister of State, Housing and Urban Development Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo will be special guests of honour. The party’s National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, is the chief host.
Recommendations from the symposium will be forwarded to the party’s newly established Progressive Institute as part of the NPH’s contributions towards strengthening Nigeria’s fledgling democracy.
In another report, Ali Ndume, the Borno south senator recently removed as the Senate chief whip following a letter from the Ganduje-led APC leadership, publicly apologised to the ruling party.
Ndume apologised for publicly embarrassing President Tinubu during a live television programme, saying the president was “being caged.”
Ndume was removed as the Senate chief whip after the interview.
