The All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership has agreed on a new funding mechanism that would be based on continuous membership registration across the country to raise funds for the party.<\/p>\n
Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, APC National Publicity Secretary, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
He said this was part of resolutions reached at the end of a closed door meeting between the APC National Working Committee (NWC) and Governors elected on the party`s platform.<\/p>\n
He said the meeting which was chaired by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the party`s National Chairman, was used to review the party`s state and x-ray its challenges in relation to funding and financing.<\/p>\n
He added that it was agreed at the meeting that the party was not effectively funded as it should be.<\/p>\n
Abdullahi said a new funding mechanism was, therefore, devised based on a planned continuous membership registration exercise across the country.<\/p>\n
According to him, the meeting agreed that this is the only sustainable way to fund the party.<\/p>\n
He added that the meeting discussed the situations in some of the party`s state chapters and also agreed that an effective conflict resolution mechanism be put in place.<\/p>\n
This, the APC spokesman added, was to stem the tide of internal dissension and resolve existing issues.<\/p>\n
He said the meeting also resolved to launch a project to showcase the accomplishments of APC Governors in all the 24 states controlled by the party.<\/p>\n
According to him, the party`s forthcoming non-elective National Convention was also discussed at the meeting which agreed that the convention be held on April 29.<\/p>\n
He said that though the meeting acknowledged that President Muhammadu Buhari had been away longer than was originally envisaged, the party commended him for following the rule of law.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe meeting, however, commended the President for following the rule of law by allowing the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to assume proper leadership.<\/p>\n
According to him, by so doing the President has saved the country the kind of trauma that was experienced in the past.<\/p>\n
He commended the Acting President, the leadership of the National Assembly and all APC Governors for standing strong and ensuring that government continued to run smoothly in the President`s absence.<\/p>\n
He also prayed to the Almighty God to bring the President back in good health. <\/p>\n
