As pressure mounts on the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker /Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee to come out with timelines for the assignment given it by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, a member of the Committee has advanced reasons why the Party Convention may not be feasible in the foreseeable future.
According to reports, the member said the Committee met a party in carcass and had to set in motion concrete action to address the most urgent need of the APC which he said was to halt the slide and confusion that was occasioned by the intractable crisis that hit the party.
He said, “There was no party when we came in, the party was in carcass. APC is now getting shape and we have to consolidate on the success achieved. Convention is not the only thing.
He also explained that it was inconceivable that the committee would venture into a convention when there was no single membership register in any ward across the country. According to him, what was touted as a membership register was a one -man register, which according to him was held hostage by a chieftain of the party that featured only at 2014 APC National Convention.
While acknowledging that the convention was primarily in the mandate of the Caretaker committees, he reasoned that both the President and APC NEC did not know the depth of the rot in the APC.
