APC Caretaker Com’te has no plan for extension but… – Member

A member of the Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Tahir Mamman SAN, has said that the Committee was not working to extend its tenure. 


Speaking with newsmen at the party’s national secretariat, Thursday in Abuja, Mamman said the committee was working within its mandate and time frame. 


The governor Mai Mala Buni led Caretaker Committee was set up by the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) on June 25 with a mandate to resolve some crises facing the party and organise a fresh national convention within six months to elect a National Working Committee (NWC). 


But when asked whether Committee was hoping for extension, Mamman who represents North-east said, “We are working within our mandate we are not working for any extension of time. If those who gave us job should think of extension that would come from them.”


Mammam, who came with some Adamawa APC stakeholders also said there was no division in Adamawa APC. 


Speaking in company of Alhaji Ibrahim Bilali, Adamawa APC Chairman, Hon. Sunday Peter, Chairman APC North-east and Alhaji Danladi Chambers after visiting the Secretary, Senator John Akpanudoedehe stated that no one individual is a leader of APC in Adamawa state.  


According to him, the visit of the Stakeholders to the party was to show how united they were in Adamawa state. 


Asked to comment on who is the leader of APC in Adamawa State, Mamman said, “We don’t have that as a problem now. 


“As a member of Caretaker Committee l am telling you now that as far as l am concern we don’t have that as an issue. We only have very senior Stakeholders including those you mentioned. I have been meeting all the Stakeholders in Adamawa and the North East. I represent the North East and all those people you have mentioned. l have interacted with them. So these are just another group of Stakeholders of the party in the state who are giving us ideas on how to make progress in the party. So there are no issues at all.”


It would be recalled that Senator Aisha Binila representing Adamawa Central had said she is the leader of APC in Adamawa. 


She had also recently led some Adamawa APC members to the National Secretariat where they visited the Secretary.
