APC Constitutes Standing Committees To Strategise Party Activities

The All Progressive Congress APC has established 5 Standing Committees to strategise and stipulate the Party’s constitution.

The committees in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the Party Mr Felix Morka include finance, publicity, establishment, intergovernmental, conflict and reconciliation

Mr Morka disclosed this during a press briefing on the outcome of the 133rd meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee at the Party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

He said the meeting adopted resolutions for the establishment of the party’s standing committees as provided by the party’s constitution in moving the party forward.

“You may recall that at the last National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of our Party, the NWC was given the authority by NEC to make certain decisions or to conclude certain processes which rightfully are within the authority of the NEC, but that authority was ceded to the NWC to make these decisions. So, we have invoked that authority given to the NWC in adopting these resolutions for the creation of the standing committees.”

Mr Morka further disclosed that the NWC also resolved to mark and celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Party’s founding.

He said specifics of the event which will be held in Abuja and simultaneously across states will be communicated in due course.

“We have decided that it is an important event that should be celebrated not just here at the headquarters but with Party men and women across the country.”

He disclosed that the NWC also received and considered an expert presentation on the proposed establishment of a Progressive Institute which will serve as a think tank, policy incubator, training and research centre for the Party as well as institutionalise and propagate its progressive ideology and manifesto.

“We are very happy and delighted that our Party made these decisions and in the coming days we will be providing full details” added Morka

The briefing was attended by the National Legal Adviser, Prof. Abdulkarim Abubakar Kana; National Welfare Secretary, Hon. Donatus Nwankpa; Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Duro Meseko and Deputy National Organising Secretary, Hon. Nze Chidi Duru.
