Mala-Buni The next national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) is most likely to be a former state governor. It has become a convention that such stature of persons occupy the office and it would most likely not change during the forthcoming national convention of the party. Shortly after the merger of legacy fringe opposition political parties into the APC, former Osun State governor, Chief Bisi Akande, emerged as the interim national chairman, only for Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, himself a former Edo State chief executive, to succeed him and become its first substantive chairman. Currently, the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc in APC is angling to produce the next national chairman. They argue that after both All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) have had their slots, it was their lot to produce the next national chairman.

Director-General of the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) Salihu Mohammed Lukman, in a statement on Sunday in his personal capacity, titled ‘True Federalism and Labour Issues’, said no one should deny that Nigeria was going through existential challenges that required all patriotic citizens, organisations and leaders to step forward with proposals on how to respond to the challenges.
He said the report identified 13 issues bordering on creation of states, merger of states, derivation principle, devolution of powers, federating units, fiscal federalism and revenue allocation among others which he argued remained unattended to.
“As a party, APC manifesto is very clear regarding its commitments to the critical challenges facing the country,” he said.
