Atiku Bagudu, the Governor of Kebbi State and Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), issued a statement. Governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have requested that the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee conduct local government and state congresses as well as organize an elective national convention, according to the statement.
Ward congresses were recently held by the Committee, and they were allegedly marred by irregularities.
As a result, the Forum reiterates its support for the Caretaker Committee to carry out local government, state congresses, and the national convention under the National Executive Committee’s mandate (NEC).
“The Forum was also briefed on the Supreme Court’s judgment on Ondo State’s 2020 governorship election on July 28, 2021, and recognize that the legal status of both the APC Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committees, as well as their composition, has been legally settled,” the governors said.
