Nigeria’s 2020 Non-Career Ambassadors have stated the recent influx of big wigs from opposition parties into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will make the “continuous occupation of the Presidency simpler and easier come 2023”

The diplomats commended the membership drive of the Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) under the leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.
