President Muhammadu Buhari says he supports the ongoing APC membership registration and revalidation because he wants the party to return to the grassroots.
He said that members should be the ones selecting candidates rather than leaders sitting somewhere.
Speaking when he received some delegation of APC National Youth Representatives Caretaker Committee led by Ismail Ahmed at the Presidential Villa, Thursday, the President described politics as a game of number while the party belongs to the people.
He said the authority of the political party should flow from the bottom up instead of the other way round.
While encouraging young APC members to participate in the exercise, President Buhari told them that if they want to see something different, they must be prepared to do things differently.
