The crisis of leadership rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a new turn as leader of one of the support groups in the party, the Progressive Youth Movement (PYM), Prince Mustapha Audu emerged chairman, Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).
The movement consequently announced the disbandment of the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker.
The youths also named Senate President Ahmad Lawan and House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila into the new CECPC as representatives of the National Assembly.
The purported new leadership is saddled with the mandate to conduct the party’s national convention on February 26, 20222.
However, the party has dissociated itself from a group called Progressive Youth Movement, saying it was alien to the party.
Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, National Secretary APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) said this in a statement in Abuja on Monday.
“We have received several enquiries from the media and concerned APC members on the felonious activities of a purported group parading itself as Progressive Youth Movement.
“The purported group and membership are unknown to the party, its structure or as a registered support group.
“Hence, we completely disown them and cannot account for their activities or join issues with them,” the APC scribe said.
