The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Yobe state Governor, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, said the just concluded Congress organized by the party reflects the unity and confidence of its members in the leadership of the party.
He therefore described the conduct of the party’s ward congress as successful.
Governor Buni in a statement by his DG, Press and Media, Mamman Mohammed, on Monday, congratulated members of the party over the successful and peaceful conduct of the events.
The Chairman said reports from across the states reaching his office indicate that the congress was generally successful and peaceful.
“I wish to congratulate us all for the peaceful and successful conduct of the ward congress.
“The massive turnout of members in the congress reflects the success of the membership registration and revalidation exercise.
“It also reflects the unity and confidence of our members in the repositioned APC and its leadership,” he said.
“I want to assure our members that their choice of leaders at the ward Congress and indeed, subsequent congresses will be respected.
“The party has put some measures in place to check and rectify anomalies arising from the Congress.
“We are committed to building a strong internal democracy to give the party a strong leadership that are genuinely elected by the people,” he added.
According to the chairman, the congresses will give ownership of the party to the members through the bottom-top approach.
Gov. Buni urged aggrieved parties to seek redress through constituted channels in the party.
“We will be fair, just, and transparent in handling every complaint for justice to be done and the people’s choice respected,” he said.
