WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that the former national chairman of APDA which is one of the 74 political parties de-registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2020, registered at his Gwagwa Ward in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
Shittu also called for a two-party system in the country which according to him, would help build a stronger democracy and boost the nation’s socio-economic life.
He said;
“From today, we are joining to build a strong political party that will build a strong economy and a peaceful country.
“I’m appealing to Nigerians that a two-party system should now be entrenched in our constitution for us to build a strong nation.
“For the growth of this country, political parties have to come together.
“So, we have decided today that we are collapsing into APC to build a strong nation.
“APC has brought the agenda for change and now we believe that it is time that the forces that want this country to grow must come together.”
