John Oyegun, national chairman of
the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), says Nigerians are more aware of
their rights than they have ever been.
Speaking on Monday while
inaugurating the convention committee in Abuja, Oyegun warned his party against
having the sense of a ruling party.
He also charged the members of
the committee to ensure that the outcome of the convention reunite the APC
members.
“We have a tough election ahead
of us and we must prime ourselves for that election. We must not cuddle
ourselves with any false sense of being the party in power,” he said.
“Our population today is much
more aware of their rights than they have ever been before. So, as you proceed,
please ensure that all these views and opinions are brought together into a one
united APC.
“The task that you have
undertaken to perform is a heavy and tough one. The APC is known, in spite of
induced controversies, for the cleanest primaries and congresses. Our last
presidential primary was by all account one of the best ever held and I dare
say, anywhere.
“It was a convention that was
watched worldwide and you are supposed to repeat the feat. I have no doubt that
this one, given the controversies that have preceded it will also be a most
watched convention.
“So, you have the task of
producing a convention that is free, fair and provide a level playing field for
anybody who wants to aspire to any position.”
Badaru Abubakar, governor of
Jigawa state, is chairman of the 68-man committee.
