APC Meets Tomorrow Over Sharing Formula

By Johnbosco Agbakwuru & GABRIEL EWEPU

ABUJA—ALL Progressives Congress, APC, Merger Committee will meet tomorrow to consider allocation of offices among various political parties that merged to become the mega party.

At the meeting to be held in Abuja, the committee will also produce the party’s logo, as well as draft the constitution and its manifesto.

The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA and the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, had last week announced merger to form the APC.

The merger committee was given about six weeks to consider the merger agreement, design the logo of the new party, draft the constitution and the manifesto of the party.

A source close to the committee told Vanguard that the individual political parties were asked to submit names of their members that will make the committees to be constituted as well as the national officers.

According to the source, the parties that made up the merger will file candidates to contest the Abuja Municipal Area Council elections expected to hold later this month if the proposal to INEC for the registration of the merger name was not ratified before the election.

The APGA controversy
Commenting on the controversy in APGA, he said that there was no problem with the party as according to him Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State and the National Executive Committee of the party endorsed the merger.

He said: ‘Anybody who feels he does not agree with them is in the minority. A party is a voluntary association, it therefore means that when the majority has decided you have to key in, if you don’t want to key in, you leave the party, it is not compulsory that you must remain a member of a party.”

The source alleged that the seeming problem in APGA was caused by Governor Peter Obi whom he accused of being a stooge to President Goodluck Jonathan, adding that Governor Obi was in the minority in the party.

“The majority members of APGA and the National Executive Committee have endorsed the merger and that was why they were represented when we announced the new name of our party. Those against the merger are the PDP people in APGA.”

Suit against Momoh to be withdrawn
In a related development, the faction of Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, led by Senator Rufai Hanga, has indicated its readiness to withdraw its suit against the Prince Tony Momoh’s leadership of the party and fuse with the newly-formed All Progressive Congress, APC.

As a prelude to mending fences with the leadership of the party, the Sen. Hanga group met for about two hours yesterday, with the leader of the AC N and chieftain of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in Abuja to sort out issues of common interest to both parties.

Sen. Tinubu met with the Hanga faction of CPC to broker peace between them and the CPC leadership on the platform of sacrificing for the mega party.

According to Hanga, he was ready to make any sacrifice to ensure the success of the merger of the opposition parties in order to move the political process forward.

He said as a first step, they were ready to withdraw the suit the faction filed against the leadership as soon as possible because they were also part of the merger.

He said the current leadership of CPC would cease to exist as soon as the mega party takes off.

Vanguard also gathered that he had met earlier with the leader of CPC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari over the misunderstanding within the party, on how to resolve it and move the merger talks forward.

Vanguard gathered that Tinubu had earlier met with the leader of CPC, Gen MuhammaduBuhari over the misunderstanding within the party during which they suggested ways and means of resolving them.

The Hanga-led faction had challenged, in court, the legality of the election that brought the leadership of the party, led by its Chairman, Prince Tony Momoh.

He has been parading himself as the defacto chairman of the party, having been given recognition by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Let them first develop a working platform and a well documented manifesto we can believe in.

You don't share what you are yet to get.

So it is all about sharing formular.No clear manifesto.Buhari,let it be know to you that the day you choose to romance with Tinubu,that was the day you tarnish what was left of your hard earn intergrity.You have lost it.

All iboz on this forum that doesn't agree with this are the minority iboz, they are less important

Rochas is the best governor in S/E and he his under a yoruba party.

If you like nack you head for wall, we've been ruling and we will forever rule

ACP has no ideaology just like PDP and any other party we have seen in this country presently.
The only language they know is SHARE.

Rochas Okorocha is just a political prostitute.., His records are there. Lets see if he alone can make a forest.

Another gang up to steal power

Rochas Okorocha is the future. A governor with up-to-date vision, passion and courage for Ndigbo. No one tribe can do anything all alone. This is 21st Century where politics of bargain rules.

Thank you. I honestly don't get this uncharitable disposition towards Okorocha all of a sudden when the same people where touting him as President yesterday. Will he get there by alienating and fighting everyone to a standstill as some wants here?

As you surmise, no ethnic group can go it alone and that much is obvious to Okorocha, a detribalised Nigerian, even if some want to remain too feudal and clannish to appreciate that.

Okorocha simply sees the writing on the wall for GEJ and the PDP. We forget the politicians, regardless of the Party they belong to, feel the direction of the political wind first. Why should Okorocha, if an effective politician, back a dying Horse or go down with a sinking ship?

Nice one APC, waiting to see their manifesto after the meeting tomorrow. Tired of a party that has killed the dreams of many Nigerians.

One would have thought the MOD and Seun would have re-edited the heading to reflect what is the true picture of this article. the meeting is according to report not crucially on the "Sharing Formula" its more of meeting where manifesto, logo and other stuffs of kind will be presented. I believe the topic is misleading and mischievous in its totality. I have every problem with the post making the frontpage with a skewed heading.

And the fist cuffs begin!!

THEY ARE TALKING OF PARTY POSITION, SOME MUMU THEY TALK OF NATIONAL POSITION. UNA NO THEY READ AT ALL?

This may be beginning of unending tackles.

Nairaland is trying to compete with Saharareporters. That's the trend now.

Hmm they should have tried to settle the issues in CPC and APGA before this merger and not talking about those who are in opposition are minority entities.
