The Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, on Tuesday, said
he nurses no fears about the court orders threatening the March 26 national
convention of the All Progressives Congress; assuring party stakeholders that
the convention will hold as planned.
This is as he disclosed that over 250 men and women enrolled
to serve as protocol officers at the forthcoming convention are undergoing
training already.
Ganduje said this while fielding questions from journalists
when he visited the APC national secretariat in Abuja.
Recall that a Bwari
division of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in suit number FCT/HC/CV/2958/2021
had restrained the governing party from holding its convention until a
substantive suit has been heard and determined.
The suit filed by one Salisu Umoru had the APC, the
Independent National Electoral Commission, and Mai Mala Buni as respondents.
Also, our correspondents learned that there are at least 208
pending court cases, some of which are seeking a declaration nullifying all
state congresses under the leadership of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention
Planning Committee while threatening the party’s national convention.
Reacting to questions about the court order, the Governor
said, “I have no fears. Our convention will hold Insha Allah. Don’t worry, we
are equal to the task. We are the biggest party in Africa and we have the experience
to handle it.
“We are organising
the convention, the selection is taking place, the consensus is taking place
and we believe we will give you the best.”
On the purpose of his visit to Buhari House, Ganduje who
chairs the protocol subcommittee said he came to witness the ongoing training
of 205 individuals who will serve as protocol officers at the March 26
convention.
“If you see what is taking place inside you will know we are
members of the protocol subcommittee. We are preparing for the convention.
Apart from the selection of about 250 able young men and women, they are
undergoing training, after which they will proceed to Eagle Square, the venue
of the convention.
“I will be there myself together with other members of the
protocols subcommittee. You know there will be many dignitaries; legislators,
governors, president and vice President even ministers who will be there as
observers anyway. It is a gathering of who is who not only in APC but in
government. So, our protocols and ushers must give the best services to benefit
our great party at the convention.”
