A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC Salihu Lukman has suggested sanction on party leaders working to destabilize the national convention scheduled for February 26.
Lukman, immediate past Director-General of Progressives Governors Forum, PGF, an umbrella body of serving Governors elected on the platform of the APC, made the call in a statement in Abuja.
He stated that the campaign to return the party to its founding vision, must have strong expression and resonance at its forthcoming national convention, where new national executives are expected to be elected to manage the party’s affairs.
The former PGF Director-General also noted that the current drift within the party was destroying it and must be arrested before the situation got worst.
Lukman added that members of the party, needed to appeal to their leaders at all levels, to return the APC to its founding vision, which encouraged internal debates and negotiations, based on which agreements were reached and respected.
The former PGF director-general noted that unlike the case of other political parties, the APC was extremely lucky to have a leader in President Muhammadu Buhari, who does not meddle in its affairs.
The party’s affairs were presently being managed by the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC.
