China urges APC, PDP to borrow leaf from CPC

The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Cui Jianchun, has called on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to learn from the Chinese Communist Party’s experience for the development of Nigeria. 

The envoy stated this shortly after a conference that was co-hosted by the Chinese Embassy and the All Progressive Congress (APC). It was attended virtually by the principal officials of the International Department of the Central Committee of Communist Party of China (IDCPC) at the embassy on Monday.

Jianchun noted that all the political parties in Nigeria, especially the APC and PDP have a lot to benefit from the thoughts and theories of the CPC, which led China to the current economic, political and technological development. 

He advised the political parties to think outside the box and do something to accelerate the development of the country.

Speaking during the event, the National Secretary of the APC, Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, said the Chinese CPC and the ruling APC share a lot of similarities.

“So, as a ruling party in Nigeria, we hope to see greater collaboration between Nigeria and the Chinese government in enterprise development, especially in infrastructure of power/energy generation, transmission and distribution,” he added.
