The All Progressives Congress
(APC) non-national working committee says President Muhammadu Buhari’s concern
for due process is “legendary”.
The forum said this while
reacting to Buhari’s position on the tenure extension of John Oyegun, national
chairman of APC, and other party executives.
Before Buhari kicked against the
tenure extension, the forum had supported it.
But speaking with journalists on
Sunday, Jock Alamba, spokesman of the forum, said they align with the president
because of his commitment to internal democracy.
“We the forum of All Progressives
Congress (APC) NON-NWC members wish to state clearly and unambiguously that we
stand with our dear President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, on his position that
election to party offices, starting from ward, local government and state
congresses to national convention be conducted unencumbered, with free and fair
elections,” he said.
“President Buhari’s concern for
due process is legendary, that we could not underrate his concern that since
the law is an ass, our most likely 2019 presidential and other electoral
victories should not be toyed or placed in jeopardy with legal niceties or put
in harm’s way of fortune hunters.
“Our position is reaffirmed after
a careful survey, which shows that 99 percent of the entire membership and
governors of our great party are in support of Mr President’s second term bid.
“It is a common position that for
the overall interest of our great country that Mr President should complete the
critical infrastructural foundations he is laying.
“This means that with all hands
on deck, we can avoid the risk of rancourous and conflict ridden intra-party
elections which made majority of our leaders to clamour for one year elongation
of tenure in the eve of 27 February, 2018, national executive committee (NEC)
meeting.”
Alamba said members of the APC
would “work together as a family and disappoint naysayers who are hoping for
armageddon”.
