Shut Out CECPC Members From National Working Committee Elective Positions, Group Urges APC

As the March 26 date of the APC National Convention draws nearer, a group, Movement for Progressives Development (MPD), has warned members of the party not to allow serving members of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) to be elected as substantive members of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

According to the group, electing them into the NWC of the APC may lead to a serious crisis, anarchy, and dissatisfaction.

The group stated this in a statement signed by its Director-General, Comrade Muhammad Ibn Aliyu, Wednesday in Abuja, saying that members of the current CECPC should be prevented from purchasing from any office.

“For the sake of morality, fairness, and transparency, members of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, should not be allowed to purchase any form for any office in the NWC of the APC.

“We are appealing to the Leader of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari, Progressives Governors’ Forum, National Assembly Caucus, and other caucuses of the party to intervene. No position should be allocated to any serving member of the CECPC, be it from the North-East, South East, South-South, or South-West. They have done their job, and we expect them to go.

“Some of them almost destroyed the party by instigating crisis in some states just to be retained into the NWC. These people should be weeded out by loving members of our great party. Electing them would lead to a serious crisis, dissatisfaction and anarchy; This may lead to a serious crisis,” the group said.
