EXCO TENURE: WHAT LALONG TOLD OYEGUN DURING REPORT SUBMISSION
The chairman of the technical committee of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Govenor Simon Lalong of Plateau has urged the National Working
Committee (NWC) to painstakingly study the recommendations.
He said this while submitting the document to the party’s National
Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in Abuja on Friday.
He expressed confidence that if the recommendations were accepted
and implemented, the leadership logjam in the party would “become a thing of
the past”.
“The task appeared not easy when it was given to us, but with God
on our side and the very wide consultations we made, we accomplished it.
“This report has solved most of the problems that we were thinking
was within the APC, that is to tell you that there is democracy in the party.
“The committee also looked at the minutes of the party’s s
National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of Feb. 27 where the decision to
extend the Odigie-Oyegun-led NWC and other party executives by one year
starting from June was taken.
“We also looked at the passion and the commitment of the President
towards keeping the party as one and at the end of the day, we made far-reaching
recommendations.
“We noticed that there were different interests, which is quite
usual when you have a party like this, that is progressive”, Lalong said.
Receiving the report, Odigie-Oyegun commended the committee for
the job.
“Finally, the recommendations in your report will lay to rest the
ghost that has been hovering over the leadership of APC”, he said.
