APC commits to peaceful, credible congresses in Anambra
The All Progressives Congress in Anambra has pledged to conduct congresses that are free, transparent, and inclusive, ensuring fairness for all members.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra has publicly committed to conducting congresses that are characterized by peace, credibility, and inclusiveness. This assurance was given by Uche Ekwunife, the Chairman of the Harmonisation Committee for Wards and Local Government Congresses, in a statement issued in Awka. Ekwunife emphasized that the committee's mandate is to ensure that no individual or group is imposed as party executives, highlighting the importance of adhering to the party's constitution throughout the process.
Ekwunife’s statement reflects a strong intent to foster a democratic environment within the APC, where all members feel equally treated and have a voice in the congresses. By outlining principles such as credibility, transparency, and fairness as the foundation of these congresses, the committee aims to restore trust and encourage participation among party members. This commitment comes at a crucial time, as party congresses are often contentious, and the ability to conduct them successfully can significantly influence the party's strength and unity moving forward.
The emphasis on these democratic processes suggests that the APC is keen on avoiding internal conflicts and potential rifts that could arise from perceived inequities. The approach taken by Ekwunife and her committee could serve as a model for other political groups in Nigeria, highlighting the necessity of fair processes in political party governance. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the upcoming congresses reflect the will of the members, thereby strengthening the party's foundation and its appeal to the electorate.
