Former APC Rep members criticize party’s lack of internal democracy

Former members of the All Progressive Congress’s House of Representatives have criticized the party’s lack of internal democracy as a major threat to the party’s success.

The forum urged delegates to the next national convention to nominate only renowned, reliable, and trusted party leaders to the National Working Committee (NWC) in order to propel the party to victory in the general elections in 2023.

In a communique issued at the end of a meeting in Abuja, Ibrahim Zailani, the forum’s Protem Chairman, exhorted the ruling party’s highest echelon to uphold all democratic fundamentals in the national interest.

Zailani said, “It is in the progressive interest of the party to ensure that internal democracy reigns supreme.”

The meeting reviewed the current state of the APC and called on the Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee to ensure that internal democracy is sustained in the party.
