The All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), has declared that resolution of various disputes arising from the recently conducted congresses and various litigations against the ruling party remain its major priority than picking a date for the National Convention.
APC, in a statement signed by the Secretary CECPC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, noted that the party will communicate the general public through the appropriate channel when it picks date for the convention
“Dates for party activities such as meetings, primaries, congresses, National Conventions are communicated through well-known official channels and not through ‘sources’.
“As a focus-driven, process-oriented political party, the APC Caretaker Committee under the leadership of Governor Mai Mala Buni will not be distracted by self-serving antics of the sponsors of fake news.
“The APC Caretaker Committee is already embarking on nationwide consultations with party stakeholders to prepare the ground for a rancour-free National Convention. To this end, the sub-committee on budgeting and other substructures will be set up in due course.
“Finally, the party notes and appreciates the continued support of well-meaning members and leaders as the APC Caretaker Committee undertakes the immediate task of addressing contestations within the party, litigations, fallouts of recently-conducted Congresses and generally reposition the Party ahead of the National Convention,” the statement read.
