No talks yet on APC convention – Ken Nnamani

The national caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has not started discussion on the forthcoming convention of the party, a former Senate president, Ken Nnamani, has said.

Nnamani, who is a member of the caretaker committee chaired by Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, told our correspondent over the phone, on Thursday, that the committee was yet to discuss the issue of convention.

“The committee has not even discussed anything about convention. So, I can’t say whether its tenure should be extended or not, at this time. We have not deliberated on convention. We were concentrating on Edo and Ondo.

“And we are beginning to talk a bit about party registration and the rest of it. We haven’t reached that of convention,” he said.

But a chieftain of the party in the South, Chief Jackson Lekan Ojo, told Daily Trust in a telephone chat, yesterday that the committee’s tenure would likely be extended by two months for proper negotiation before the convention.

The National Executive Committee (NEC) which is the second highest decision-making organ of the party had on June 25, 2020, dissolved the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC) while the Buni-led committee was formed. The Buni’s committee was given six months within which to prepare grounds for a fresh national convention in December, where a new NWC would emerge.
