It also had rich experience in working with key Democratic Party candidates throughout the U.S. and has a strong reputation for supporting leading populist movements across the globe.
“We have been working closely with AKPD Message and Media over the past few months and we shall leverage on the firm’s skill, experience and expertise throughout the upcoming campaign cycle.
“As a party destined to bring change and succour to the long suffering people of Nigeria, the APC is proud and excited to work with one of the foremost exponents of change in the world, especially with their track record of success in political climates akin to ours, notably in Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana.
“With this strategic partnership, the process of change in Nigeria has already begun and it can’t be stopped,” the APC stated.
