Emameh Gabriel writes on the dynamics and intricacies as the All Progressives Congress is set to hold its congresses which would set in motion a series of activities and events culminating in the party’s national convention, though no specific date has yet been set for the highest organ of the party, the national convention to converge, political actors have no doubt been warming up to replace the caretaker national chairman, Mai Mala Buni
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) recently announced the postponement of the date of its congresses initially scheduled for July 24, August 14 and September 18 respectively for the election of party executives from the ward to the state levels, with the ward congress now holding on July 31th which will ultimately culminate in its much awaited national convention where the national officers of the party who will direct its day to day affairs would be elected.
During his second attempt, the governors were adamant. Nobody was ready to contribute. The only governor that was ready to volunteer was Ali Modu Sheriff, the then Borno State governor who gave N10m on the eve of the election. But the N10m didn’t reach Buhari. It was N9m that reached him on Friday evening whereas election was on the following Saturday morning. Some people said we shouldn’t accept it because, how do we spend the N9 million when the election is tomorrow? He (Buhari) rejected it. Whether it was returned (to Sheriff) or not, I don’t know. We went into the election like that and failed. The three committees sat and had an assignment and came back after some days. We met and deliberated. I was the chairman of one of the committees. I gave my report. The other committees too gave their reports. After deliberations, we went for NEC and decided to look for a small party and continue the struggle. There was a unanimous decision on this.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s ally and a former National Chairman of the Buhari Organization TBO, Abdulmajid Danbilki Kwamanda has created a new APC Akida splitting the party into two factions in Kano.
Abdulmajid Danbilki Kwamanda who has been championing the President Muhammadu Buhari ideologies since 2003 when the President first contested under the APP, said Governor Ganduje and the APC State caretaker Chairman Abdullahi Abbas should be held responsible for the crack in the party.
He said, “the actions of the Governor as well the party caretaker Chairman for vehemently blocking some party loyalists who wish to contest the state gubernatorial seat negates the principles of democratic norms and internal politicking”.
