Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday stormed the national secretariat of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, to demand the extension of the tenure of the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
Under the platform of Buhari/Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group, the group took the solidarity walk to the secretariat bearing placards with various inscriptions in support of the Caretaker Committee.
Some of the inscriptions on the placards read: “Mai Mala-led Committee, best choice to reposition the party’, ‘support the current reforms in the APC’, ‘we support APC transformation for a better tomorrow’ among others.
The Buni’s committee was inaugurated in June, 2020, and saddled with the responsibility of administering the party’s affairs and to organise a national convention within six months following the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole led National Working Committee (NWC).
Speaking with newsmen during the solidarity rally, the group’s National Coordinator Usman Ibrahim cautioned party members against threatening the committee over planned tenure extension.
“We are all aware of the several crises within the party which cut across the states which if not handled carefully, are capable of tearing the party apart. But since the resumption of the caretaker committee, it has swiftly embarked on peace building, fence mending and reconciliation of the aggrieved party members.
“We urge the caretaker committee to remain focussed, undeterred and unrelenting in its determination to reposition the party better than it was, and to our fellow party faithful to give maximum support to the committee innovations.
“As committed and dedicated members of the the APC, we have observed with great admiration the magnificent reforms being championed by the Buni led caretaker committee which is giving the party a rejuvenating impact since coming on board,” he said.
APC Director of Administration, Suleiman Abubakar, who received the group on behalf of the party, promised that the Caretaker Committee would not disappoint the party assuring that it will prepare the party for victory ahead of the 2023 general elections.

PDP may lose 2023 election if.. -Bode George ...Urges party to move convention to Lagos By Chinelo Obogo Former National Vice Chairman (South West) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has warned the party against accepting the congress carried out by its former Lagos State chairman, Deji Doherty, saying the court ruling against him may cost the party the elections. In a press conference at his Ikoyi office on Monday, George said Lagos State High Court had last year ruled against Doherty and reinstated former caretaker chairman of the part in the state, Adegbola Dominic, as the legitimate chairman. He said if the party accepts the executive produced at the congress carried out by Doherty, it risks losing the election. He also urged the PDP to move its national convention which is scheduled to take place on May 28 and 29 from Abuja to Lagos due to the fact that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would also hold theirs at the same venue on 30 and 31. "It is important to point out that Deji Doherty was removed by a court of competent jurisdiction, therefore any congress he conducts is null and void under the law. It will be better to avoid any of the candidates that emerged from the congress he conducted so that in future, no one will tell you that the election is illegal. "I want to use this medium to speak on the venue for the convention. APC wants to hold their national convention on May 30 and 31 and we are holding ours on May 28 and 29 in Abuja. How is that possible? People would arrive for the PDP convention two or three days before the day and APC delegates would also arrive few days before theirs. This could create confusion which would be disastrous for us. "Because we want to impact positively in the minds of Nigerians that we are better managers without encumbrances, to move our convention from Abuja to Lagos. Which tribe in Nigeria does not reside in Lagos? If you want to fly or come by water or road, you would get here. There are many hotels, from one star to five star. Holding it in Lagos would completely cut off any plans by the APC to want to scuttle our convention. "On the issue of zoning, a memo was done and the first paragraph of that communique identified that zoning and rotation remain absolutely sacrosanct in PDP. It remained the cultural and political spinal chord of our party. In other words, people should not think that we have forgotten zoning. It remains very important in our party. "It now went further to state that the former managers of our party, when they should have announced zoning to decide whether the presidential candidate should go to either the north or the south. But because they didn't do that, everybody came out. Now that we are few weeks to the convention, would it right for the party to now say this person can contest or this person cannot contest. "People have started campaigning, even members of the same family and you cannot rob Peter to pay Paul. How would you tell those who have been spending money and time not to contest because you have zoned it? How would they feel? A divided party would be a defeated party. "On this basis, i appeal to everyone to cool their tempers and let us go to the game. I know that this is something that has never happened in our party. On the day of thr convention, all the six geo political zones will present presidential aspirants and you can see that we need God's intervention. We need a man who will put Nigeria before himself and would without fear or favour and irrespective of your religion. I believe so much in prayers so we should forget what has happened. It is a new experience. The ability of our party to rise above that would be a measure of conviction to the electorate that we are better managers," he said.
