The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has constituted a 68-member committee to oversee its upcoming national
elective convention.
Osita Izunaso, the national
organising secretary of the party, announced this in a statement on Sunday.
The statement was silent on when
the convention will hold or when the committee will be inaugurated.
The committee is chaired by
Badaru Abubakar, governor of Jigawa state, while its deputy chairman and
secretary are Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state; and Ben Uwajumogwu
respectively.
Also included in the committee
are ten other governors namely Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Kashim Shettima (Borno),
Aminu Bello Masari (Katsina), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), and Ibrahim Gaidam (Yobe).
Others are Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna),
Simon Lalong (Plateau), Bindo Jibrilla (Adamawa), Yahaya Bello (Kogi) and
Godwin Ibaseki (Edo).
The senators in the committee are
Ahmed Yerima, Adamu Aliero, Danjuma Goje, Abdullahi Adamu, George Akume, Ovie
Omo-Agege, Andrew Uchendu, Abdullahi Danbaba, Baba Kuka and John Enoh.
Chris Ngige, minister of labour
and productivity and Uguru Usani, his Niger Delta counterpart are also on the
list.
The committee also has members of
the national assembly and eight women on it.
A move to extend the tenure of
the current national working committee of the party levy by John Oyegun had met
brick walls with President Muhammadu Buhari kicking against it.
The president had said he wanted
to avoid a legal battle that could jeopardise the party’s cohesion before the
2019 general election.
We had reported that governors in
the party had agreed to fund the upcoming convention.
Here is a full list of the
members of the convention committee:
