The national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked those who have pending cases against the party in courts to withdraw them or face the full wrath of the party.
Inaugurating the party’s Local Government Appeal Committee on Wednesday in Abuja, Secretary of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Sen John James Akpanudoedehe, said fair hearing should be the guiding principle for the committee.
“It is important to state that the party shall enforce discipline and full compliance with the directives of NEC with regards to those who have taken the party to court as enshrined in Article 21D of the party’s constitution.
“Recall that the National Chairman of the CECPC, H.E. Governor Mai Mala Buni, recently approved the constitution of a National Reconciliation Committee headed by Sen. Abdullahi Adamu.
“The party is grateful for your sacrifices and wishes you journeying mercies to and from your various destinations,” he said.
Chairman of the Committee and former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Patrick Obahiagbon, who spoke on behalf of other members of the committee, called on aggrieved party members to withdraw their court cases and take advantage of the internal mechanism of crisis resolution.
Meanwhile, the party has released timetable for the conduct of state congresses slated for October 2, 2021.
