The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has confirmed that the health condition of President Muhammadu Buhari was
largely responsible for the inability of the party to hold its constitutionally
mandated mid-term non-elective convention.
It, however, assured that
processes leading to the programme will begin on Saturday, July 29.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja at
the end of fifth regular joint APC National Working Committee (NWC) /APC
Governors’ meeting which held on Wednesday, Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum
and Zamfara state governor said that the party had decided to meet with the
Acting President to discuss the issue and fix a suitable date for the
convention.
When reminded of an earlier
promise to meet with the Acting President after their meeting in May, he said:
“although the President is supposed to be present at the convention as leader
of the party, we will still meet with the Acting President to decide on a date.
“However, we are conscious of the
fact the Acting President is playing a double role at the moment and therefore
has a very busy schedule.”
He explained that in view of the
relationship between the executive and the legislature and the need to forge a
cordial relationship within the hierarchy of the party, they decided that
principal officers of the National Assembly will henceforth be part of the
regular meeting with the leadership of the party.
