The All Progressive Congress (APC) has doused mounting tension over the status of Governor Mala Mai Buni-led Caretaker/Extra ordinary National convention planning Committee (CECPC).
The ruling party maintained that the committee’s position won’t affect the party congresses and nominations.
The Committee, according to a member of the CECPC representing North West, Senator Abba Alli, is simply acting and will soon hand over after the party’s national convention.
Alli assured reporters in Katsina the party’s ward congresses held on Saturday, the recent registration/validation exercise for its members as well as nominations being authorised by Governor Buni cannot be legally invalidated as being feared.
He said: “The fears of party members and concerned Nigerians over holding the ward congress despite recent Supreme Court ruling on Ondo State Governorship election is unfounded.
‘’The APC leadership sought extensive legal advice from its counsel and other legal opinions before going ahead with the Congresses.
“We did not just decide to hold the ward congress despite the Supreme Court ruling. We sought necessary legal advice on the issue even before the ruling’’.
