Obahiagbon Heads APC State Congress Appeal Committees
By Kabir Akintayo
The All Progressives Congress, (APC) has inaugurated the state congress appeal committee headed by a former House of Representatives member, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon.
The committee according to the party, was meant to proffer solutions to those that may feel dissatisfied over the outcome of the recently concluded state congresses.
The party’s National Secretary, Sen. James Akpanudoedehe, during the inauguration in Abuja on Thursday said: “As a party, we shall ensure that channels of communication are kept open in line with the dictates of our constitution.
“This Appeal Committee is part of the internal mechanisms, so that those who may feel dissatisfied with the States Congresses can approach the Committee and ventilate their grievances through this avenue.
“The party is however confident that with its wide membership base, APC will emerge victorious in the coming Anambra election and the ones that will come after.
“You all will agree with me that the process of recalibrating our party into a functional winning machine in 2023, is well on course.

“With the huge membership strength we have recorded during
the last registration and revalidation exercise, there is no doubt that Nigerians still trust us and that we will win all the upcoming elections convincingly, starting from the Governorship elections in Anambra, to Osun, Ekiti and to the 2023 general elections.”
Akpanudoedehe later urged the members of the party to make use of the appeal committee set up by the party, instead of resorting to court which is capable of dividing the party.
He said “In a bid to provide development to our people, this party has afforded many of our party faithful the platform to attain various positions, either elected or appointed, it will still do so for many others going forward. Hence, all true party men and women must see dissensions within the party as family disputes and should not seek to destroy the platform which helped them in times past.
“It is elementary law that he who alleges must prove, so instead of taking issues to the media space, let them put forward their case before this Appeal Committee.”
He also charged members of the committee to ensure fair hearing and justice be their guiding principles in the task the party entrusted in them.
