Convention: APC Factional Caretaker Committee insist on holding parallel convention February
POLITICS DIGEST- There appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel for the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) as a factional caretaker committee has insisted on conducting a parallel national convention on February 26.
To match words with action, the faction has formally written to the Buni-led caretaker committee to vacate the national secretariat of the party.
This was even as lack of consensus among APC Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) has resulted in the cancellation of the meeting scheduled to hold yesterday as reported exclusively by Daily Sun last week.

A source close to the governors forum told Daily Sun that the meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday this week.
Chairman of the factional CECPC, Mustapha Audu, who disclosed the resolve to go ahead with the convention in a chat with Daily Sun, said that the arrangements would be made public by the end of this month.
He said though they have formally written to the Buni-led Caretaker Committee to vacate the secretariat, they would not attempt to occupy the secretariat forcefully due to the directive given to urchins to stab them if they dared to visit the secretariat.
Asked if they would go ahead to conduct APC parallel National Convention in February, he replied: “We are absolutely going ahead with the convention and February 26 is sacrosanct. We are going ahead with it because there is no reason for us to suspend the convention. There has been series of meetings between us and the DSS and some of the leaders of the party.
