The Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress Governors’ Forum and Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha
has revealed what the governors resolved after their meeting with President
Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday.
The Governors met with Buhari to
discuss issues relating to tenure extension for the John Odigie-Oyegun-led
National Working Committee, NWC.
Okorocha said members of the
party leadership, who wish to re-contest are free to do so, adding that the
party is set to go for victory in the 2019 general elections.
He said, “Let me correct one
impression, the issue of congress and convention does not mean that the
previous people who have served the party have done badly. And it does not mean
that they cannot come back or that they cannot re-contest, that is not it.
“We are simply saying that their
tenure has ended and those who wish to re-contest can re-contest and can be
elected into our party structure. So, we are all one as family and we are set
to go for 2019 elections in victory,” Okorocha said.
The Imo governor added: “I just
want to let you know that there is no crisis in the APC at all. And we want to
use this opportunity to advise the media operatives to stop spreading rumors of
crisis in APC. There is no single crisis in APC.
“The issue was one of people who
believe that we did not have enough time to organize a party congress and run
election.
“Some people felt that it was a
good idea, but the most important thing is that if we do that, we will be
contravening both our party constitution and the constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. That is the major issue that we have that they call
crisis. We do not have crisis
“This (Wednesday) morning, we met
with Mr. President to fine-tune issues, one regarding the congress and we have
resolved that the congresses at all levels and the chairman of the elongation
committee, is also fine-tuning the arrangement in the same line. To this
effect, the convention committee will be set out, it will be announced.”
