The All Progressives Congress, (APC), says it will go ahead with its ward Congresses slated for Saturday, July 31, 2021, as there is no cause for alarm over the supreme court decision on Ondo gubernatorial election.
After the ruling on Wednesday, stakeholders called for the suspension of the Congresses and the removal of the Caretaker chairman, Mai Mala Buni that he was not qualified to lead the party.
They claimed that the ruling of the Supreme Court on the matter indicated that Governor Buni, was ineligible for the seat.
But, National Caretaker Secretary of the party, John Akpanudoedehe in a statement on Thursday, said the ruling of the supreme Court has no bearing on the status of the CECPC.
“While it is not our intention to join issues with these commentators, the Supreme Court’s Wednesday judgement affirming the Election victory of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu SAN had no bearing on the CECPC’s status and its membership.
“The clarification is against the backdrop of personal opinions being expressed by some individuals on the status of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and its capacity to conduct the Congresses,” he said.
