The All Progressives Congress, United Kingdom chapter, has advised the National Executive Council of the party to postpone its national convention, which was earlier scheduled for February 26, 2022.

The chapter gave the advice in a statement issued on Wednesday by UK APC Chairman, Philip Idaewor.

Idaewor stated that the postponement became necessary to enable Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee to win more grounds in reconciling aggrieved members.

The APC UK chairman also stated that postponement of the convention, while focusing on the much-needed fence-mending, would ensure the party retains power in 2023.

Idaewor said, “It is better to shift the national convention to a later date and consolidate on the successes achieved by the convention planning committee in uniting various factions than to lose all it has achieved.

“The Chapter urged APC’s National Executive Committee to immediately postpone the National Convention from Saturday, February 26 to enable pending critical issues to be addressed.

“The postponement is important, especially now that the reconciliation committee, led by Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has requested for a one-week extension to complete its work.



“APC in UK earlier weighed in on the matter some months ago, where it urged the party to align with best practices in deciding the convention date which should go with the election of the party’s presidential flag bearer.”

The statement also quoted Idaewor as saying that the proposal would ensure the highest participation of members in the diaspora as they would not dissipate logistics in travelling to Nigeria twice for the same event.

He, therefore, urged the party’s NEC to summon the courage to postpone the convention in the overall interest of all stakeholders to promote unity, harmony and cohesion within the party.

According to the diaspora APC group, rushing into a convention within the space of the next three weeks will further fracture the party.

The APC UK chapter regretted that the emergence of multiple factions in many of its state chapters does not project confidence that the party would have a smooth sail in the next year’s general elections.

“The logical thing is to allow the reconciliation committee to finish its assignment as there is no gain in progressing in error.

“APC stakeholders will simply slave for others to enjoy, if the party holds the convention in February, as it will merely be solidifying the rancorous situation that is present at state levels.

“The Governor Buni-led committee has performed creditably which has left the APC UK wondering why the committee cannot be allowed more time to complete the good work it is doing.

“The committee has singularly brought reconciliation to several state chapters, and we are confident that it will make factional politics a thing of the past when it is given more time to restore sanity to the party,” the statement quoted Idaewor as saying.

He further stated that the APC government, led by President Muhammadu Buhari, had attracted a lot of good things to the country that requires continuity.

This thing you people are doing and about to do to this old man is not good ooh

So Tinubu is still not strong.
Isoraiitt

Hahaha is that what tinubu went there to do?? They should all come back to Nigeria to make that request

They should come back home first.

Say no to Tinubu

2022 go sweet die

Something is really brewing

And sen Adamu said same today o

Bumi may postpone this thing later on o, the game plan would be I tried to fix it for February but others are making a good claim for postponement

We know the Londoner responsible for this news, he's already there recharging his battery, the cabals in Nigeria will disagree with that Brown teeth Londoner, can Reno harass that idotic olddy out of UK already

APC U.K?

While the people wey dem go decide dem fate dey 9ja dey suffer...

Common party convection is difficult for them to conduct yet they want to administer a nation. APC-UK promoting the bullion vans doppelganger bag of expired bones for the president of a country they have refused to live in.Ndi ala them.

What's going on... Didn't Tinubu bribe them enough

APC wants to play a fast game on Aspirants...

They want INEC timetable to start and deadline drawing closer before having their Congress and primaries


.

one thing is sure. There must be confusion in the enemies camp. Let their evil � plans be scattered.

They ate the old thief money and dumped the drug criminal

Confirmation that Tinubu is unwell and is actually in UK for treatment. From the looks of it, the convalesce period may be too long to enable him return and participate in the primary in a fit state. they need to stall it, if that fails, they will go to court to get a kangaroo judgment against the date....This we have seen

Your best bet for a better Nigeria post-2023 is Peter Obi, he got the will power and the capacity to govern our Nation well.

Okay

Who is bankrolling APC United Kingdom chapter?

Optimistguy1969:
APC UK this, APC UK that.

All their plans to force Thíefnubu on us will NEVER WORK!!!
Bunch of f00ls

anything postponement na against Tinubu interest

It would ensure a hasty consesus since no time and the president candidate would always get an upper hand

It's already bad enough that anti tinubu element who can decide who is delegate would spearhead the convention and primaries

So that's the outcome of their meeting with Tinubu
Lol

How is diz news,to me pdp and apc news nonsense because everyone want to come out for president with no plan and idea to move d country forward

treesun:
Somebody staying in UK telling us what to do in Nigeria!

no be juju be that.

You want to know why?

Because Tinubu is not well and won't be able to attend.

I rest my case.

Tinubu must be really unwell like someone here rightly said

Old man
