Lagos State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared its support for the February 26 date of the party’s National Convention.

Speaking on Tuesday, the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Seye Oladejo, said the state chapter supports the February 26 date for the national convention, noting that it was long overdue for the sake of ensuring  Internal democracy and maintaining healthy relationship among party members.

Some stakeholders in APC have rejected the proposed Feb. 26 date for the party’s national convention.

“The announcement of the date of convention is a welcome development on our path. It has been long expected.
“Feb. 26 is sacrosanct. it is good for our democracy and it good for our party,” he said.

The spokesman said that the national convention was about the image of the ruling party.

“It is also about an image thing and to show that, as a party, we are managing our affairs properly the way it is expected of a ruling party,” he said.

Oladejo said that the chapter had been making preparations for the convention and all its delegates would vote for the executives of their choice to run the affairs of the party for the next four years.

It would recalled that after weeks of uncertainties, the APC’s National Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) led by Gov. Mai Mala Buni APC) on January 18, affirmed February 26 as the date for the party’s national convention.
