A forum of state chairmen of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the North-west has declared support for Governor Mai Mala-Buni-led National Caretaker Committee in its resolve to reposition the party through planned nationwide membership registration.
DAILY NIGERIAN recalled that some party members had argued that membership registration does not fall within the mandate of the caretaker committee.
The disgruntled party members even threatened legal action should the committee go ahead with the exercise.
But the chairman of the forum comprising Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina, Jigawa, Kano and Kaduna states, Isa Sadiq-Acida, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, expressed their “unflinching support and confidence” in the caretaker committee.
The forum said: “We the North Western States All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairmen comprising Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Katsina, Jigawa, Kano and Kaduna States, wish to express our unflinching support and confidence in the APC National Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), led by Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.
“We are particularly pleased to note the committee’s strides in reconciling the various interest groups in the party and its commitment to ensuring adequate compensation for party supporters, who have continued to toil for its success.
“We are equally aware of the Committee’s desire to produce an authentic National membership register for the party.
“We, therefore, wish to call on all well-meaning members of the party to support the National Caretaker Committee in order to place the All Progressives Congress on a sound footing for continued electoral success at all levels, now and in the foreseeable future.”
