Former Lagos state governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has been appointed as the Deputy Chairman of the South West subcommittee of the Contact and Strategy Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Recall that in March 23 this year, Ambode was named as a member of the Committee by the Caretaker Committee by the partyâs National Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni.
Confirming the latest appointment on his twitter handle, Ambode said it will help to deepen and consolidate the gains of the party in the South West and prepare it as a strong and viable institution for both the present and foreseeable future.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is silent on timetable for its congresses and national convention. The National Secretary, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Senator John Akpanudoedehe, however, faulted media reports that the ruling party would kick-start the exercise this week.
He described the speculators as “political jobbers bent on undermining the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee.”
The scribe continued: “We have never lied on our party’s activities and we simply have no reason to. The consultative party leadership style instituted by Governor Mai Mala Buni as Chairman of the CECPC has institutionalised the APC as a party of processes and internal democracy.”
