APC’ll conclude North-West reconciliation before campaign

North-West zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would conclude its reconciliatory efforts before the commencement of electioneering campaign in September.

Its vice chairman, Salihu Lukman, disclosed this, yesterday, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna.

He said committees were inaugurated with the mandated to reconcile aggrieved members of the party after the primaries, saying they recorded impressive progress across the six states of the zone.

The states were Kaduna, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Jigawa.

“The committees embarked on a fact finding mission and so far, after our review, progress is being made in each state.

“We will conclude reconciliation before before campaign commences. Our reconciliatory drive is a record breaking initiative and we challenge other parties to emulate the same,” Lukman said.

He said that the zone had also reviewed the report from the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) on the suspension of Continuous Voter Registration.

“We have agreed for the committees to equally mobilise those who have registered to pick up their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs),” he said.

Lukman said that the zone received large number of detectors from other parties to the APC.

“It is a very pleasant report as some state party chairmen had to send representatives to our meeting because they were busy receiving defectors,” he said.
