The governors say recent Supreme Court judgement gives recognition to the party’s national caretaker committee.
Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress have asked the interim leadership of the party to conduct a national convention to pick new members of the National Working Committee.
The governors under the aegis of Progressives Governors’ Forum made the call in a communique issued after their meeting in Abuja on Sunday. This communique was signed by the forum’s chairman, Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State, on Tuesday in Abuja. The Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee led by Governor Mala Buni of Yobe State was constituted last year after the sack of the Adams Oshiomhole-led NWC.
According to the communique, the governors reviewed the party’s July 31 ward congress and directed the committee to proceed with other congresses that would culminate in the conduct of the national convention.
