The Governor of Nasarawa State and the Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Media Committee of the national convention,
Abudulahi Sule has said governors of the party will honour the request of
President Muhammadu on his decision to anoint Senator Abdulahi Adamu as the
next chairman of the party.
Sule disclosed this Thursday while addressing a press
conference in Abuja.
President Buhari and the 22 governors of the party had on
Wednesday agreed to adopt consensus candidates for all the offices of the
National Working Committee (NWC) of the party ahead of Saturday’s national
convention.
The party settled for former Nasarawa State Governor, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, as consensus candidate for the post of National Chairman and Senator Iyiola Omisore as the National Secretary.
Sule noted that the party was been driven towards a
consensus arrangement in order to have a very peaceful convention.
He stressed that the consensus arrangement that would be
adopted would be in conformity with the dictates of the 2022 Electoral Act as
amended.
Sule added that the ruling party would not do anything in
violation of the Electoral Act.
His words: “As I mentioned earlier, we have been driven
towards a consensus arrangement so that we can have a very peaceful convention.
After which most of the political activities will begin which will lead into
the success of the party at most of the elections that we are going to have
next year by the grace of God.
“We will not do anything whatsoever as a political party
that is going to be in violation of the law because as the ruling party. We
will not carry out something that is going to be detrimental to our law in this
country so that we do not give bad example. You can be rest assured that
whatever we are going to do is going to be in line with the Electoral Act.
“What our party has that others don’t have is the fact that
we have a political leader and father that everyone who is truly a member of
this party respects and that is President Buhari. We strongly believe that he
will not do something just for selfish reasons, for greed or for anything that
will be against the interest of the party. He is interested in ensuring the
unity of the party. So he’s not doing anything for his personal benefit.
“That is the kind of leader we have, that is why each time
he speaks, everyone listens because they know he is not doing it for any
personal benefit. That is his request and I am telling you his request will be
honoured because we know he is doing it sincerely for the benefit of the
party.”
On the refund of payments to other aspirants, Sule was of
the opinion that the President only made an appeal which he believed the
leadership of the party agreed with.
Sule noted that the total number of delegates expected at
the convention would be determined by the party.
