The National Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee Chairman and Governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni said this in a press statement released in Abuja.
He said that discussing 2023 election was distractible explaining that the party was focused on reconciling its members and building its structures.
“It is diversionary to start discussing 2023 elections now. We have a sitting president, Muhammadu Buhari, who is less than two years in office of his second term, we are concentrating on the success of his administration.
“Our focus is to strengthen the party through a bottom-up approach and to carry everyone on board, while those aggrieved have happily rejoined APC just as new ones have joined the party.
“The Caretaker committee has reconciled many aggrieved members and factions across the country including the Zamfara state factions among others and bringing in prominent politicians into APC including Mr David Umahi the serving governor of Ebonyi state with more coming,” Buni said.
Governor Buni dismissed claims that APC was wooing former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2023 presidency on its platform.
He further explained that the visit by some governors to former President Jonathan was solely to felicitate with him on his birthday anniversary.
