The Acting Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker/ExtraOrdinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello says the March 26 date fixed for the ruling party’s national convention is sacrosanct.
He spoke in Abuja on Wednesday while inaugurating the National Convention subcommittees in Abuja.
“I want to remind you that you have to work hard to ensure that the National Convention will go on 26th of March 2022. That day is sacrosanct,” Bello said.
He tasked members of the subcommittees to exhibit loyalty to the party to ensure the success of the National Convention.
Explaining why the party trimmed down membership of the subcommittees to a manageable figure, he said, “I know a lot of our party faithful wanted in one way or the other to serve in various committees as their support or contributions towards a healthy party. However, we must be mindful that we cannot accommodate everyone in the Sub-Committees. So we trimmed down the number to a workable size without undermining everyone and I think this decision is the best for our party.
He commended the Caretaker Committee members for their efforts in compiling the list of subcommittee members, because the party, being the largest party in Nigeria, they went through a lot because everyone wants to serve.
“But I think they did their best. If you didn’t see your name in the list please don’t be offended. I am sure other opportunities will come in future,” he added.
