The ruling APC says it has no cause to fret over the coming together of opposition political parties, stating that most Nigerians now appreciate its pioneering efforts in setting the nation on the right path.

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said this in a telephone interview with Punch, on Saturday.

His words, “Like I have said over time, we are practising a multi-party democracy and in this kind of system, it is the more, the merrier.

“As for parties coming together, they are welcome. We have no reason to feel threatened because we are confident that Nigerians appreciate the credible leadership the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration has provided.”
