The Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied report of indefinite suspensions of local and state congresses of the party.
The new timeline for the local government congress was disclosed in a statement by the CECPC Secretary, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe in Abuja on Friday.
The secretary in the statement refuted reports that the Caretaker Committee of the party has indefinitely suspended the local government and state congresses.
Describing the reports as false, Akpanudoedehe said, “the CECPC has tentatively fixed LGA congresses for the first week of September 2021.”
“The official information from the party was that dates and guidelines for the LGA congresses will be fixed after the conclusion of the Ward Congresses Appeal exercise followed by due consideration of the Appeal Committee’s reports by the CECPC”.
“On behalf of the CECPC Chairman, Governor Mai Mala Buni, we assure our teeming party supporters, members, and leaders of our unflinching commitment to credible, transparent, and participatory congresses leading to the National Convention of our great party,” Akpanudoedehe stated.
