Kwara APC adopts parallel congress

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State have agreed to adopt consensus arrangements in ward congresses that are already taking place in the 193 wards across the state.
Tribune Online also gathered that members of two tendencies of the party in the state are having parallel ward congresses at designated venues for the exercise.
The exercise that witnessed a large turnout of party faithful in many centres, saw members of each of the tendencies taking part separately.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Kwara APC Ward congress, Professor Jonathan Ayuba has urged all the stakeholders to ensure that the process is peaceful and orderly.

Speaking at the end of the stakeholders’ meeting called by the APC national headquarters’ Congress Planning Committee in Ilorin, Professor Ayuba said that, “The national secretariat of APC has taken these congresses very seriously because the foundation of the success of the party at the national level depends on the foundation that we laid that the construction will continue,” he said.

“I was given a list of stakeholders and I personally made contacts with some of your critical stakeholders. With what I have done I feel confident that I can convey the message which I am brought here to do.

“The congresses are supposed to be done and the party says you have to decide either you go for consensus or election. So, mine is not to decide for you but to listen to you and make your decision. So, your decision is what I will work with.

“I have held meetings with security agencies and I will hold any of the stakeholders in various wards responsible for any misconduct. I will hold any of the stakeholders responsible for any breach of the peace. I will also include in my report to the headquarters any misbehaviour. Let the interest of the party and not any individual interest supersede our decision in these congresses.”
