John Oyegun, national chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC), says Nigerians are more aware of their
rights than they have ever been.
Speaking on Monday while inaugurating the convention committee
in Abuja, Oyegun warned his party against having the sense of a
ruling party.
He also charged the members of the committee to ensure that the
outcome of the convention reunite the APC members.
“We have a tough election ahead of us and we must prime
ourselves for that election. We must not cuddle ourselves with any
false sense of being the party in power,” he said.
“Our population today is much more aware of their rights than
they have ever been before. So, as you proceed, please ensure that
all these views and opinions are brought together into a one united
APC.
“The task that you have undertaken to perform is a heavy and
tough one. The APC is known, in spite of induced controversies, for
the cleanest primaries and congresses. Our last presidential
primary was by all account one of the best ever held and I dare
say, anywhere.
“It was a convention that was watched worldwide and you are
supposed to repeat the feat. I have no doubt that this one, given
the controversies that have preceded it will also be a most watched
convention.
“So, you have the task of producing a convention that is free,
fair and provide a level playing field for anybody who wants to
aspire to any position.”
Badaru Abubakar, governor of Jigawa state, is chairman of the
68-man committee.
