APC Ward Congress: Seek redress through constituted channels, Buni appeals to aggrieved chieftains

Amidst the protest and disaffection trailing weekend conduct of All Progressives Congress Ward Congress at state chapters across the country, the interim leadership of the party has appealed to aggrieved chieftains to seek redress through constituted channels.

Yobe State governor and Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, gave the admonition in a statement, on Monday.

Tribune Online checks revealed that parallel congresses were conducted in certain states while in some states chapters, chieftains dismissed the adoption of consensus as an imposition as they alleged that they were excluded from the exercise.

Governor Buni in a statement signed by his Director General, Press and Media Affairs, Mamman Mohammed assured that the party was not ignorant of the disaffection trailing weekend conduct of ward congress.

He, however, assured that the anomalies would be corrected in forthcoming local and states congresses.

He said: “I want to assure our members that their choice of leaders at the ward congress and indeed, subsequent congresses will be respected.

“The party has put some measures in place to check and rectify anomalies arising from the congress.

“We are committed to building a strong internal democracy to give the party a strong leadership that is genuinely elected by the people.”

Governor Buni urged aggrieved parties to seek redress through constituted channels in the party.

“We will be fair, just and transparent in handling every complaint about justice to be done and the people’s choice respected.”

Governor Buni, however, maintained that reports from across the states reaching his office indicate that the congress was generally successful and peaceful.

“I wish to congratulate us all for the peaceful and successful conduct of the ward congress.

“The massive turnout of members in congress reflects the success of the membership registration and revalidation exercise.

“It also reflects the unity and confidence of our members in the repositioned APC and its leadership.

“I want to assure our members that their choice of leaders at the ward congress and indeed, subsequent congresses will be respected.”
