Governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have called on the caretaker committee led by Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe state to organise an elective national convention.
The ruling party will be able to elect members of the national working committee (NWC) by holding an elective convention.
Recall that the former NWC led by ex-national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole was dissolved by the party’s national executive committee (NEC) in June 2020 after a protracted leadership crisis.
Ever since, the Buni-led committee has been piloting the affairs of the APC.
Chairman of the APC governors forum, Abubakar Bagudu in a communique issued on Tuesday praised the efforts of the caretaker committee to reposition the party.
The Kebbi governor also commended the panel for conducting successful ward congresses across the country.
“Forum reviewed progress being made by the APC Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee in the effort to rebuild structures of the party at all levels and commends members of the Caretaker Committee led by His Excellency, Mai Mala Buni for the successful conduct of the Ward Congresses across the country,” Bagudu said.
“Accordingly, the forum reaffirmed its support for the Caretaker Committee to proceed to conduct Local Government, State Congresses, and National Convention, in line with the mandate of the National Executive Committee.”
