A political pressure group under the auspices of the All Progressives Congress Youth Development and Solidarity Forum has warned that over 20 million party members would be disenfranchised should the ruling APC proceed with its proposed February 26th national convention.
The group hinged the warning on the grounds that the party is yet to resolve crisis in about 14 States where congresses did not hold or were held under controversial circumstances.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, the forum’s secretary, Tobias Ogbeh lamented that the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee has failed to yield to the warnings of some concerned stakeholders over the impending doom that awaits the party.
Ogbeh further warned that any attempt to disenfranchise the overwhelming population of party members will be rejected.
The APC Youth Forum however urged the party’s officials to consider the position canvassed by the Abdullahi Adamu-led Reconciliation Committee for more time to settle factional differences across various state chapters of the party before holding the National Convention.
