During the meeting, the issue makeup of the party’s inaugural Campaign Council and the date on which the party would formally begin its campaigns will be discussed, sources said our correspondent.
According to our correspondent, the dispute inside the APC over the make-up of the presidential campaign team has caused a delay in the start of the party’s campaign, which has been the subject of numerous meetings among stakeholders.
Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the party, said that the party would lose the 2023 election without the support of its governors during one of the sessions that some APC governors, the National Working Committee (NWC), and other stakeholders attended.
James Faleke, the secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, published a list of the council’s 422 members prior to INEC launching the start of campaigns.
The National Working Committee (NWC) and party-affiliated governors, among others, complained they were not treated fairly in light of the development, which led to a crisis among party stakeholders.
Some governors allegedly felt betrayed since their nominees were left out of the campaign council.
