APC has adopted consensus option for its congresess in Borno State.
Gatekeepers News reports that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno State, North East, Nigeria, has adopted a consensus option in the election of party officials at all levels in the state.
The decision was taken during the party’s critical stakeholders’ meeting held in Maiduguri, the state capital.
The state deputy governor, Umar Kadafur, moved a motion for the adoption of consensus for the ward congresses and this was seconded by a party member, Abdu Musa.
The motion, thereafter, was put to voice-vote where all the stakeholders including members of the national and state assemblies as well as local council chairmen unanimously adopted the motion.
Governor Babagana Umara Zulum in his address, urged members of the party to observe and adhere strictly to the APC rules and regulations to guide the conduct of the congresses.
Zulum decried the non-compliance with the party’s rules and regulations in some states and how it resulted in litigations that affected its chances in the previous general elections.
He urged members to shun acts capable of threatening the unity of the party in the state.
