The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, held a meeting with ten governors of the party on February 19, 2023. The meeting began at approximately 2:35 pm in the National Working Committee (NWC) Hall of the party’s National Secretariat.
The meeting was attended by the governors of Plateau, Nasarawa, Niger, Kaduna, and Kogi states. Additionally, the governors of Gombe, Yobe, Zamafara, Ekiti, and Jigawa states, along with the Deputy Governors of Imo and Katsina, were present. Senator Aba Kiyari, the deputy National Chairman (North); Deputy National Chairman (South) Chief Emma Enekwu, and National Secretary Otunba Iyiola Omisore were also present at the meeting.
The Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) and Kebbi Governor, Atiku Bagudu, was delayed due to a flight issue. Senator Adamu commended the governors for their contributions to the ongoing APC presidential campaign.
He stated, “I am pleased with the response so far, and I understand that more of our members are still on their way. As you are aware, recent events have necessitated the need for this meeting. We do not want to judge anyone regarding where we are today as a party in the country.
My goal is to bring together all those who hold positions within the party and were elected under the party’s banner to interact so that we can better understand the current situation. That is why I invited you all. I am pleased to welcome you all to this meeting.”
The purpose of the meeting was to address the current challenges faced by the party and to develop strategies for the upcoming elections. Senator Adamu emphasized the importance of unity and cooperation within the party to achieve success in the forthcoming polls.
