Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, says the committee will focus on repositioning the party.
Buni assured APC members that the committee would work on both short and long term strategies to achieve this.
He made the pledge on Monday in his inaugural address shortly after the oath of office was administered on members of the 13-member committee at the APC National Secretariat, Abuja.
The APC caretaker chairman, who also doubles as the Yobe State governor, said since the ruling party was formed six years ago, Nigerians had been attracted to it because of its sincerity of purpose, principles and integrity of its founding fathers.
Buni said, “Nigerians have trusted and still have the trust in us that the Party will create a country of our dream with a prosperous
future.
“As the party trusted by Nigerians, and voted massively for two times in a row, we must shun away from any attempt to distract us from delivering the dividend of democracy to Nigerians.
“What happened to us as a Party in the last few months is not totally strange in a big political party such as the All Progressives Congress. Internal disagreements are common in all political parties, so ours is not an exception.
“lt’s time for this committee, therefore, to commence the process of true reconciliation among leaders and members of the party at all levels. It is our belief that the decision by NEC to constitute this committee will mark the beginning of a new chapter in our great Party.”
