We consulted and all the 24 governors of the APC are on the same page with Mr. President that we are going to respect our party’s constitution, and respect the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Therefore, we collectively agreed that we will have congresses at all levels – Local – State and National.

The committee set up by the National Secretariat of our party headed by governor of Plateau State, is presenting its report later today (Wednesday). The governors are also meeting with the working committee today so that we come up with convention committee names as well as timetable of the election.

So, there is no deadlock in our meeting, we have progressed and very soon you will have the names of the convention committee members as well as the timetable.
