APC to Introduce Female Presidential Team
Bigwigs from the APC have gathered at the State House to discuss the APC Women’s Presidential Campaign Team.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) will introduce its female presidential team in time for the general elections of 2023.
This was announced on Monday on Bashir Ahmad’s Twitter account, the Special Assistant to the President for Digital Communications.
He posted a picture of Senators Kashim Shettima and Abdullahi Adamu, the party’s national chairman, and APC presidential contender Bola Tinubu.
Although the precise location cannot be determined at the time of this report, they were in a meeting at the State House or Presidential Villa.
The Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, and the Director General of the Presidential Campaign Council are among those present during the meeting.
The alleged conflict between the former governor of Lagos State and the APC Chairman appears to have been resolved due to the development.
On September 29, Adamu charged Tinubu with naming the Presidential Campaign Council’s members without getting permission from the APC National Working Committee.
Adamu urged the quick retraction of the presidential campaign council list, stressing that any indication of dissension inside the party would undermine the campaign’s integrity and cause unwarranted worry among party supporters nationwide.
The APC’s spokesperson, Felix Morka, however, claimed in a statement that Adamu did not write the letter and that the party would not be derailed by its critics.
“To be clear, the “DRAFT” letter did not emanate from the Party. An UNSIGNED letter that marks itself as a ‘DRAFT’ cannot and should not be attributed to its purported author,” Morka said.
“The National Chairman of our Party and our Presidential Candidate maintain cordial and effective communication channels and enjoy full liberty of open and frank conversations on matters of interest to the Party and our Presidential Campaign. As such, an unsigned “DRAFT” letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the Party and the PCC.
“We will not be distracted by the wishes and actions of detractors that wait gleefully but in vain for some kind of crisis to erupt between the Party and the PCC.”
The allegations come days after the APC candidate launched a 422-man committee of influential political figures and other party leaders to oversee the numerous campaign council subcommittees.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s calendar and schedule of events, the general election campaigns for 2023 officially began on September 28. (INEC).
