APC Constitutes Three-member Caretaker Committee for Zamfara

The Caretaker/Extraordinary and Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has constituted a three-member Caretaker committee to pilot the affairs of the party in the state following the recent Defection of the state governor, Mr. Bello Matawalle.

The party in a statement issued yesterday by its National Secretary, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, said the Committee has Senator Hassan Mohammed Gusau as Chairman, while Mr. Muntari Anka is the Deputy Chairman and Prof. Abdullahi

Shinkafi is the Secretary.

The ruling part said the step followed the recent positive development in the Zamfara State chapter of the party and the approval by the caretaker committee to dissolve the leadership structure of the party organs in the state.

The caretaker committee hereby strongly appealed to those directly affected by this action to show understanding and consider this a sacrifice made for the growth of the party.

The party assured all concerned that it shall ensure that inclusiveness, fairness and transparency are maintained by the new leadership on all fronts.

Meanwhile, following the recently-concluded APC primaries to elect the party’s flagbearer for the November 6 Anambra State Governorship Elections, the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led committee has appointed the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrasaq Abdulrahman to unify and strengthen the party in the state ahead of the elections.

Akpanudoedehe in a statement yesterday said the two party leaders were charged with the responsibility of bringing together all the erstwhile aspirants and their supporters to join the campaign organisation of the party and achieve victory for the APC in the state.

The committee mandated the two governors to do everything reasonable and necessary to ensure that all feuding parties, erstwhile aspirants and their supporters close ranks and work for the APC to defeat the contestants fielded by other political parties.

“We look forward to a unified front and a shared commitment to support the party before, during and after the election,” the party said
