APC CECPC Irked, Reveals What Will Happen To Any Member That Goes To Court Against The Party

The renewal of the threat followed a legal action by some aggrieved members in the Delta chapter and the subsequent order putting on hold the Saturday Local Government party congress exercise in the State as well as an order directing Gov. Mai Mala Buni-led National Caretaker Committee to stop parading them as leaders of the party.

Buni, while inaugurating the Local Government Congress Committees slated for Saturday, September 4, vowed that the Caretaker Committee was determined to carry out the directive of the December 5 National Executive Committee (NEC) which forbids members from taking the party to court.

Represented by CECPC Secretary, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, the party declared that the Saturday Local Government Congress and the July 31 nationwide Ward Congresses are "legally protected.ÔÇØ

The Chairman urged committee members to go to their various States of primary assignment with confidence, dignity, commitment, and pride.

"We also use this opportunity to reiterate the resolution of NEC of our party to severely sanction members and their sponsors who take the party to court. His Excellency (Hon) Mai Mala Buni is determined to carry out to the letter the instructions of our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, which is to rebuild the party, button-up. The process has reached an advanced ground stage.

"Rest assured that your assignment, as well as the earlier Ward Congresses nationwide, is legally protected. We are on solid ground.

"Consequently, the CECPC ratifies and adopts the results of the party's earlier nationwide Ward Congresses held on Saturday, July 31st, 2021, however, any State Caretaker Committee who swears in any person or group of persons who are not elected through a congress conducted by the designated National Congress Committee of the Party is null, void and of no effect. However, where there are still complaints, the CECPC would be fair to all.

"Accordingly, the CECPC hereby directs you all to go and conduct nationwide Local Government (LGA) Congresses on Saturday, September 4, 2021, as contained in the official timetable/schedule of activities released by the party.ÔÇØ

Director-General of Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu, who spoke on behalf of the LG Congress Committees, promised to conduct the exercise in line with the Constitution of the party and the vision of the founding fathers.
