All Progressives Congress

APC National Chairmanship Aspirants Finalize Plans

Former Edo State governor, Prof. Oserihemen Osunbor, who recently declared his intention to contest the national chairmanship position of the All Progressives Congress, says he is not worried about perceived support been received by Comrade Adams Oshiomole, another former Edo state governor from some party leaders.

Osunbor, who said he believes he has the credentials needed to lead the party, disclosed he believed there would be a level playing field for all contestants in the national convention.

Another aspirant who has indicated interest in the position is former governor Clement Ebri of Cross River State.

Osunbor, however, promised to leverage on his experience and connections as a former governor and lawmaker to reposition the party.

“As national chairman of APC, I shall strive to build on the efforts by the founding fathers of the party and reposition it to help focus government’s attention in order to impact on the upliftment of the well-being and security of Nigerians. l am absolutely convinced that l have the competence and ability to provide the needed leadership at this point in time for the following reasons:

“l have the legislative experience as a two-term Senator to establish and engender a cordial relationship between the party and the National Assembly. My former colleagues at the National Assembly and other political associates across the country are invaluable assets.

“As a former governor, I have the executive experience to foster good working relationship between the party and the president at the national level and governors at the state level.

Naija News recalls the APC recently promised to go ahead with its Saturday, June 23 national convention, banishing reports that lack of funds is threatening the party convention.
