The Director-General Progressive Governors Forum(PGF ), Dr. Salihu Lukman has stated the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) must be forced to organise the celebration’s National Convention in February 2022.

He said the CECPC must be told that all assessments about organising the Convention ended with the conference with President Muhammadu Buhari on November 22, 2021, and for that reason the CECPC leadership should stop lying to Nigerians and APC members.

Lukman in a statement released Thursday stated it appeared that the caretaker committee chaired by the Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni has actually presumed a new goal of taking APC to its political grave following its rejection to reveal the date and place of the convention.

The director-general recalled that on Tuesday there were media reports attributed to sources close to the CECPC claiming that the APC National Convention has actually been held off from February to June 2022.

Lukman worried that following the news of the supposed post ponement, the Secretary of the party, Sen. John Akpanudoedehe released a declaration of counterclaim, getting in touch with the general public to ‘completely neglect phony news on the reported suspension of the prepared National Convention’.

He said sadly, the statement, like previous ones from the committee, didn’t announce any date and venue for the National Convention.

Lukman noted, “Somehow, it is challenging not to conclude that the CECPC is intentionally promoting speculation around the APC National Convention by declaring to embark on assessments with celebration stakeholders to prepare the ground for a rancour-free National Convention.”

“Unless the CECPC has offered itself the new responsibility of being the political and electoral undertaker of the APC, it must stop promoting some subversive projects suggesting that it is carrying out ‘the instant job of attending to contestations within the celebration, litigations, fallouts of recently performed Congresses and normally reposition the Party ahead of the National Convention.

” It simply implies the CECPC’s brand-new goal is probably to take APC to its political tomb once this is the case. This should not be appropriate!”

The director-general wondered why the sub-committees for budget plan which is to mobilise funds for the convention had actually not been established with just about 2 weeks to the end of January.

“There is need to ensure that the CECPC has no choice but to organise the APC National Convention in February 2022 as chosen based upon all the assessments that have occurred,” Lukman worried.

According to him, This is a slap on the face of Nigerians and an insult to party members. How can a declaration from ‘a focus-driven, process-oriented political celebration’, make such an outrageous statement allegedly ensuring that a Convention set up to keep in February without suggesting a date and venue for the Convention?

The celebration chieftain added that the CECPC ought to likewise stop declaring that it was waiting for the conference of Progressive Governors before it takes all the required decisions to commence the procedure of organising the Convention.

Lukman kept in mind that such a claim was not only deceitful however likewise taking the assistance of Progressive Governors for approved, which was why Progressive Governors have actually been minimized to punching bags of all celebration members concerning all the difficulties dealing with the party.
