The Director General of Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), Dr. Lukman Salihu has resigned his position over the continuous delay of the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention.
Salihu had earlier called on Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, who is the chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) to resign honourably if he fails to conduct the party’s convention tentatively slated for February.
But the interim APC planning committee has failed to hold the convention, in fact, a date has not been announced for the national convention expected to hold in February.
In a letter dated January 5, 2022 titled, “APC National Convention: Urgent Matters for the Survival of APC” Salihu said the insinuation in the public was that the reluctance of Buni to proceed with implementation of the decision to hold the APC National Convention on February 5, 2022, as agreed was because governors want to continue to control the party.
He stressed that there was need for party leaders to consider convening an emergency meeting of the National Caucus to review all those developments and perhaps give opportunity to Buni and the Secretary, Sen. John Akpanudoedehe to explain whatever difficulty they may be having.
