A group in the APC known as APC Great Minds has berated former Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum, PGF, Dr Salihu Moh. Lukman, for describing the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, as an undertaker.
Lukman had in an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari titled: “APC Convention: Caretaker or Undertaker,” accused the committee of not planning to hold the convention among others.
Reacting to Lukman’s allegation, the group said he was using the officialdom of the PGF to attack the leadership of the party “until he was sacked from that office by the enraged APC Governors who considered him unfit to continue to hold the office of the Director General of the PGF. Since the garb of the PGF DG has been unceremoniously removed from his neck, he has decided to further untame his pen of fury against the leadership of the party again, this time as a ‘Freelance APC Campaigner.’
“The group said Lukman’s claim that there is no sign of a Convention “is not only laughable but also indicative of the fact that the erstwhile PGF DG is a confusion merchant.”
According to the group the CECPC has rolled out a timetable towards actualising the national convention; received reports from the Reconciliation Committee and have issued Certificates of Return to the State Chairmen; slated February 19, 2022 for the release of the list of convention Sub-Committees and the Secretary of the CECPC, Sen. John Akpan Udoedehe, has been briefing newsmen on the level of preparedness of the Committee for the Convention regularly.
But Dr Lukman said the Committee has not been communicating. How else do you communicate? The author of confusion said in his open letter that there are speculations of postponement and a grand plan to ensure the Convention does not hold. He even went further to accuse the CECPC Chairman, Gov. Mai Mala Buni of sit-tightism and an agenda to self-perpetuate. These allegations are frivolous, malicious, unintelligent, narrow and indicative of the scheming by the hirers of Lukman. Gov. Mai Mala Buni has been the best thing to have happened to our dear party at a tumultuous time.
He has grown the party to 41 million members, 9 million more than the entire population of Ghana. He has digitalized the party and brought in high profile members into the party. He has successfully conducted Congresses at the Wards, Local Government and State levels. And he has reconciled the party significantly as well as set the stage for a great Convention. He would be remembered by history as one of the greatest leaders our party got to know.’’
