After weeks of apprehension, accentuated by orchestrated uncertainties, the National Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress , yesterday, affirmed February 26 as the date for the party’s national convention, apparently, with the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Lukman, in a letter dated January 5, 2022, titled, “APC National Convention: Urgent Matters for the Survival of APC,” pointed out that leaders of the party must understand that its survival was at stake and any attempt to continue to contemplate postponement of the convention was unacceptable, as it meant gambling with the future of the party.
While a majority of the governors opposed the attempt to force Lukman’s resignation, a few insisted he must go, hence his eventual resignation. “We look forward to having more women contesting in the forthcoming National Convention of the party on February 26th, 2022, and the general elections. Now, as we approach the convention and moving closer to the next general election, I wish to remind you of your progressive role in supporting progressive minded leaders.”
On his part, Fayemi said, “We are going into our convention. I would like to plead with the chairman that we should make this a policy convention. A policy convention, where we can specifically take one by one all those aspects of life that our people want to know what we have done in the last six years; what we are still going to do roughly in the next 17 months left to our government and how we will consolidate on that by ensuring that we elect another APC president in 2023.
Fayemi said, “I know that we have covered a lot of ground, but we still have a lot of ground. We have not done enough for our women, we can do a lot more than what we have done. One, in terms of representation of women in offices, but also in terms of service delivery to our women across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
