Former governor of Imo state, Senator Rochas Okorocha on Tuesday suggested how the National Executives of the ruling All Progressives Party (APC) would emerge.
According to Okorocha, founding leaders of the party across the original four blocks, should be allowed to nominate interested party members for sensitive positions such as National Chairman, Secretary, Women Leader, Youth Leader, Organising Secretary etc.
He explained that while President Muhammadu Buhari as the leader of the CPC block should be given the honour of deciding who becomes the next National Chairman of the party, others like Senator Bola Tinubu of the defunct ACN block, Ogbonnaya Onu of the defunct ANPP block, himself as leader of the APGA faction then, should also be honoured of deciding National Secretary and other important positions .
Justifying his position, he said sharing the party’s positions on that basis will help in preventing the ship of the party from hitting the rock .
He said, “Our party is a great party, APC is a great party, what is wrong with our party is that we have forgotten how we all started, we should not make the mistake of PDP of the old and I think that will be corrected with the party’s Convention now slated for March 26 , 2022.
“What we need to do is to go back to basis so that we adhere to the culture of Unity and equity the party was known for at formation in 2013.
“There were four political parties that formed APC. CPC led by the former Head of State, Mohammadu Buhari who is now the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu came with (ACN) , Governor Abdulaziz Yari , Senator Alimodu Sheriff (SAS) and Former governnor of Ebonyi state, Ogbona Onu who is now Minister of Science and Technology and Rochas Okorocha leading the APGA”.
