Anambra APC primary election appeal committee: We shall discharge our assignment without fear or favour ― Governor Inuwa

Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has assured the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee that the Anambra State APC Governorship Primary Election Appeal Committee under his leadership will execute its assignment without fear or favour and in line with the party’s constitution.

Inuwa Yahaya stated this shortly after his 5-man appeal committee was inaugurated at the national headquarters of the APC in Abuja.

The governor remarked that election petitions and all processes involved in the democratic chain of action are normal, stressing that his committee will be fair and just to all in line with the laid down procedures of the party.

He assured that “As democrats, we are aware of the processes and as you rightly observed, you expect us to be fair, just and equitable in handling this assignment. So, I want to assure you, and through you, all the parties involved, that we shall discharge our duties without fear or favour and we shall be fair and just in accordance with the guidelines of the party and in accordance with the constitution of the party.”

He also said that the committee will unite all members of APC involved in the appeal in Anambra State into one big happy family considering the fact that the state is being governed by a different party.

“For us to form a Government in Anambra State we need to work in unison, we need to work together, so we need the understanding and cooperation of each and everyone, both leaders and followers of the party,” the governor said.

He then urged all the contenders that have any reservations or misunderstandings about the result to reach out to his committee so that issues arising from the Anambra APC governorship primary election can be addressed, observing that winning a primary election is not enough without winning the main one.
