From Justine Davis, Jos

The  All Progressive Congress, {APC}, North Central region has applauded President Bola Tinubu for heeding to the call, to convene the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting, aimed at planning for the forthcoming national convention of the party.

A member of the presidential Campaign Council, Zazzaga, in the last election made this known while speaking with newsmen in the state.

He explained that the NEC meeting is a stepping stone towards the convention which they have been looking forward to ventilate some of their grievances in the party, especially from the North Central region which is a solid bedrock of the party.

He stated this while speaking with Journalists on Wednesday in Jos the Plateau State capital.

The Forum’s Chairman disclosed that President Tinubu through his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila and Umar Ganduje have canvassed for the meeting to be slated for September, a moves he noted is commendable.

“The President, in the letter, is opting for either September 8 or September 19 for the NEC meeting. We want to commend President Bola Tinubu for calling the NEC meeting of the APC in this coming September. 

“This has been our long term cry of the North Central APC so that many issues concerning the party can be addressed, and so that we can equally table our grievances from the North Central region and get it addressed before we forge ahead and intensify our plans ahead of the 2027 election.” Zazzaga noted

“So the letter calling for the meeting from the President through his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, to plan out the convention before the end of the year is a welcome development. This shows the President has listened to our call. 

“Our role in APC from the North Central perspective right from the 2015 election to the 2023 election was very critical towards the success of the party at the polls. 

“Hence, we will not spare any effort to pursue our cause and do things that will generally uplift the North Central zone, while we will continue to deepen our loyalty to the APC in general and continue working for the success of the party in one way or the order.” He assured
