The acting Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s caretaker committee, Governor Abubakar Sani Bello, says the party has adopted the report of the zoning committee headed by the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazak.
He disclosed this at the end of his meeting with the CECPC members at the party’s secretariat in Abuja.
He said, “The report of the zoning formula has been submitted and adopted and it will be released any moment from now.
“Hopefully, by next week, the NEC meeting will be held. It is a continuation of yesterday’s meeting. And just so you know, so you won’t be asking me the same thing tomorrow, we are going to be meeting every day until the convention so that we can put things together.
“Basically, today we looked at the convention sub-committee and we collected some of the reports from the committee hoping that tomorrow we will decide on the next step to take.”
Bello was however not forthcoming over the status of John Akpanudoedehe, the national secretary, following speculations Tuesday morning that he (Akpanudoedehe), has resigned his position.
However, reacting to the rumours of his resignation, Akpanudoedehe said the information was untrue.
He said, “I have read on social media that I have resigned as Secretary of the APC. I want to state that it is not true, that I didn’t resign. If I had resigned, you would have seen my letter of resignation written by me. Someone cannot just say somebody is dead when he is alive.
“I am not bigger than the party, or bigger than the president who is the leader of the Party. I am waiting for the national chairman to come back.
“If we have a directive from the president that we should resign, we are not bigger than the president, we will do so, if we hear from him. I am stating here that the breaking news is not from me. I don’t know who announced it.”
