He said the founding fathers of the party would reform it to correct some of its lapses.
It should be noted that Prof. Pat Utomi was the founder and former presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) party.
He said some of the founding fathers of APC, were more committed to building APC as an enduring political party.
He reiterated the ideals of the founding fathers of the party, according to him, some people are more interested in taking titles in the party, rather than building it.
“I’m a member of the APC; I’m one of the real founding members of the APC.
“It’s not been what we thought it would be; let’s be very honest, the party has under-performed, the party’s structure has been poor.
“The party leadership has been poor; government and the party have not worked well together.
“But we shall reform it from within by God’s grace and make it work better.
“We have to wish on God’s grace and hope that things work differently. Anything that works, that will make a difference, I will do,” Utomi reiterated.
Prof. Pat Utomi is a professor of political economy, he was also former Special Adviser in the Second Republic government of former President Shehu Shagari.
He said he was not ambitious for political power.
“My entire career, all my life, I’ve always been willing to do anything no matter how sacrificial it is to advance the common good of our people.
“The thing that I have never cared for is pursuit of power for the sake of power. I’m not looking for anything, I’m quite happy with the fortunes that my circumstance has brought to me.
“I belong to a serious group of people who really are motivated by one thing and one thing alone – service to the people.
“Making the life we live better, more harmony among the people of Nigeria, I will be very pleased to do anything – Councillor, President, just name anything.
“So I have no problem about engaging for serving if it will lead to real progress, not to a title, I don’t believe in titles.
“We must begin to look at leaders who don’t seek titles and who can make a difference without a title,” he concluded.
