Acting Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Niger State Governor, Sani Bello, has said the interim committee will deliver a hitch-free convention.
Bello also said the March 26 date for the convention remains sacrosanct.
Addressing newsmen on Wednesday at the end of their meeting at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, the governor also announced that the number of some sub-committees for the convention had been trimmed.
He said, “For those of you that have been monitoring events in the national secretariat since Monday we have started the effort to ensure that there is free and fair convention.
“We have made efforts to see a successful convention and part of those efforts was to inaugurate chairmen and secretaries of the committees in consideration of tract records and loyalty to the party.
“We task you that you exhibit these qualities to ensure the success of the convention. 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 committee.
“So we trimmed down the number to workable size without undermining anyone and I think this decision is the best for our party.
“I want to remind you that you have to work hard to ensure that the national convention holds on 26th of March 2022. That day is sacrosanct insha Allah.”
