THE All Progressives Congress (APC) has
resolved to set up eight strategic committees,
which will work independent of the national
executive in the course of the election.
Sources close to a meeting held in Lagos, on
November 8, told the Nigerian Tribune that the
meeting resolved to put a closely knit team
together, which would not be under the direct
control of the national secretariat.
Each state chapter is required to fish out no
fewer than two persons to serve in the different
committees, a source confirmed.
The decision to set up the committees was
taken, following the adoption of a proposal by
one of the chieftains from the North- West on
APC’s strategies for 2015.
It was also gathered that the working proposal
called for setting up of a presidential election
monitoring committee, a committee to
specially monitor the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), as well as
committees to monitor elections at other
stages in the states.
A source in the know said: “The proposal
concludes on the need to set up committees
one of which will monitor the 2015 presidential
poll. The proposal also consist of setting up of
various committees, which members would be
saddled with the responsibility of monitoring,
including a committee to monitor activities of
the INEC in the 2015 general election and
committee to monitor the presidential election
in respective states, as well as a committee to
look at APC’s chances at the presidential
election.
It was said that the chieftains at the Lagos
meeting, eight in all, however, raised concerns
over the possibility of securing the right
persons to man the committees, in view of the
fact that most of the quality hands were
involved in elections between now and
February.
A source said the party could rely on foreign
experts and consultants already engaged for
the assignment, while it was resolved that
chieftains should start submitting the
curriculum vitae of nominees to the committee
to enable the leader of the strategic meeting
investigate the identity of the nominees.
While ruling out the leadership of the
committee from the managing the strategic
working proposal, a source said the party
leaders needed to own the process and be
able to vouch for all committee members.
Though the source refused to give out all the
names of the strategic committees at the
meeting, the members were said to have
resolved that the mobilisation process should
start in earnest.
A source quoted one of the party leaders at the
meeting as saying: “Eight committees are
being planned for the programme, out of which
we have mentioned only a few for strategic
reasons, including that of INEC and states’
monitoring on the 2015 presidential election.”

Even APC also set up committee?
Eight committees


Oh my God.

Good thinking!!

Time to look for credible and knowledgeable men to serve in these committees...most especially the committee that will work at the collation centers

I know PDP is planning on how to rig but this time around we shall catch dem red handed..

We won't have journalists in our next meeting hearing operational and confidential strategy again

The committee pass 8, infact they reach 15 including one as ADC to jega.

Buhari isn't running the show all alone again, we have the money, the resources and the structure to deliver him and the ultimate is the angry, hungry and desperate people mad and crazy to sweep out the clueless and useless one.
