The All Progressives Congress (APC) Ward Congresses to elect party executives will hold on Saturday, 31 July as scheduled, the caretaker committee has said.
Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, APC national secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) said in a statement on Thursday.
“To this end, ward congress committees of the party have already been inaugurated and delegated with the responsibility of conducting, supervising, monitoring the scheduled Ward Congresses,” CECPC said.
“The clarification is against the backdrop of personal opinions being expressed by some individuals on the status of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC ) and its capacity to conduct the Congresses.
“While it is not our intention to join issues with these commentators, the Supreme Court’s Wednesday judgement affirming the election victory of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu SAN had no bearing on the CECPC’s status and its membership.
“Party members and aspirants should therefore come out en masse and peacefully to participate in the ward congresses, come Saturday,” it added.
