APC convention: Govs, leaders fight over key offices, zoning under threat
Leaders and governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress are poised for a showdown over the control of the party’s structure at the national level, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.
It was gathered in Abuja on Saturday that while most of the governors had their way at the ward, local government and state levels, they had planned to take control of the party structure at the federal level to guarantee their return tickets in 2019.
There are also party leaders who are bent on reclaiming the party and setting it on what they call the right path.
SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that the party had, at its last National Executive Committee meeting, agreed to retain national party positions in the zones, or where there is an agreement, the states where they were located.
