APC governors have agreed for the national convention to go ahead as planned in February
About 20 APC governors have insisted that the party national convention should hold in February without further delay in conducting the biggest political convention since the disintegration of the PDP.
The governors made the decision at their meeting which took place behind closed doors at the Kebbi state Governor’s Lodge in the Asokoro District of Abuja which ended around 11:30 pm last night.
According to report, the attendees are; Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Abubakar Sani Bello (Niger), Mohammed Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), Bello Matawalle (Zamfara) and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi).
Others include; Gboyega Oyetola (Osun), Babajide Sanwoolu (Lagos), Simon Bako Lalong (Plateau), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Mai Mala Buni (Yobe), Hope Uzodinma (Imo), Ben Ayade (Cross River), Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq (Kwara), Babagana Zulum (Borno), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje (Kano), Abubakar Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi) and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti).
There was a heated disagreement on either to hold the convention in February or shift it to further date, but eventually a consensus was reached to go ahead with the stipulated date in February as earlier suggested.
A briefing from the Chairman of the Forum and Kebbi state Governor, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu said the forum passed a vote of confidence on Gov. Buni and two other governors on the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee – Abubakar Sani Bello and Gboyega Oyetola for the commencement and preparations of the convention.
