The forum of APC former members of House of Representatives have described the withdrawal of the proposed amendment of the party’s constitution as statutory delegates to the forthcoming national convention as a decision well thought out by the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee(CECPC).


A statement signed Wednesday in Abuja by the protem chairman of the forum, Hon Ibrahim Zailani, said members were elated to see the advertorial on a national newspapers of February 16, 2022 signed by the National Secretary of the CECPC, Sen John James Akpanudoedehe where the withdrawal is confirmed.


He said the reason given by the CECPC for the proposed removal of former and serving members of the National Assembly from the national convention which was described as inadvertent omission was also noted by the Forum.


The forum however expressed displeasure that it was overlooked in consultations leading to the decision to even make necessary amendments in the Constitution.


The Forum advised the leadership of the party to ensure due diligence before very sensitive publications like that are made public.


According to the Forum, "Yes we are glad the party leadership did the needful by quickly rectifying an error that could have spelt unimaginable consequences to the stability of the APC. The truth needs to be told that such an inadvertent error that has overheated the party's space for the past few days could have been avoided had proper scrutiny and due diligence been applied by the officers concerned. For us, this sort of scenario must be clearly avoided going forward.


"As a body of principal stakeholders in our great party, the APC, we are watching with keen interest events leading to the National Convention and the Presidential Primaries as they unfold!


"We hereby reiterate our plea to the leadership of the party that as a progressive entity, the onus is on our party to lead the way in espousing progressive ideologies chief of which is the institutionalisation of internal democracy.


"Anything short of this would mean no good for the unity and progress of our party.


"We, in the meantime place our unalloyed loyalty and support to the CECPC and the party.

We, in the meantime place our unalloyed loyalty and support to the CECPC and the party.

I still remember the way you were jumping up and down happily last week when the news broke out that lawmakers would be excluded from participating as delegates at APC convention. Those of us who understand the system very well told you then that it’s an effort in futility that can’t stand anywhere.

Now that the proposed amendment has been trashed even before the convention, I hope you can now see how politically naive folks like you are.

straw as usual, you must think APC leaders are fools to ammend a constitution and not filter anything that would be a threat

This only confirms that Buhari got them under his wrap that's the reason they are in

Lol, you were very sure last week that they are all Tinubu supporters and the move was to cut Tinubu to size. Now that it has failed, you have shifted to Buhari got them under control. Were they not under Buhari’s control when the failed amendment was proposed? Some of you guys need to take a crash course in logic. The way you reason is really funny

Like I said we have no fear, a committee that is heading into a convention with full confidence of its preferred leadership been elected by consensus has everything under control

Na dem say they got Buhari back no be me talk am

Buhari want to beat Tinubu like a man, no shortcut even when he can

I bet you don't know that the association of past lawmakers supporting buhari are two three times more than the current serving ones

And buhari would still get at least half of the serving nass members on his side
