Adamawa APC postpones ward congress

The All Progressives Congress in Adamawa State has postponed Saturdays ward congress of the party due to late arrival of materials.

The Interim Committee Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Salihu Baba-Ahmed, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Yola on Saturday.

Materials were brought yesterday (Friday) which is late. We have scheduled a meeting of stakeholders by 4pm today to fix a new date for the congress.

I want to use this opportunity to further urge our party members to continue to bear with us and remain calm as everything possible will be done to ensure hitch free exercise, Baba-Ahmed said.

A former Chairman of defunct CPC, Alhaji Ibrahim Waziri, who spoke on the development, said that with late arrival of materials, the congress was not feasible.

Waziri said this was also because the people that paid for forms to participate in the congress were yet to obtain the forms.

Those that paid for forms were yet to obtain the forms. We need about two to three days to enable them obtain the forms, fill and return them.

We will use the meeting of stakeholders today to fix an appropriate date for the congress, he said.

Ward Congresses: Kaduna APC denies selecting candidates

The Kaduna State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, on Friday urged its supporters to ignore the rumours that it had already selected officials for the various wards in the state.

Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the interim state chairman of the party made the call at a news briefing in Kaduna.

He said it was untrue that the 17-member congress committee constituted to conduct the ward congress had since anointed those to be presented to members for ratification on Saturday.

He said: Party members should ignore the rumours that the committee or any of its members, has directed that positions should be shared or a specific person must emerge as consensus candidate.

He said that all members of the APC are entitled to contest for any position during the congress in line with the partys constitution and guideline.

The chairman said even where a consensus candidate emerges, the person must be endorsed by the party members at the ward.

In an event that there is no consensus, election will hold. For the avoidance of doubt, the committee is not compiling any list of anointed candidates, he said.

Baba-Ahmed assured all those wishing to contest, that the election would be safe, secure and transparent.

He advised all the party members to be orderly, law abiding and shun any conduct that would threaten the peaceful conduct of the congresses.
