Agency Reporter

An All Progressives Congress (APC), support group under the auspices of APC Persons With Disability (PWD), has commended the party’s Caretaker Committee and Extraordinary Convention Committee over the appointment of their own as a member.

The group in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Haruna Mohammed, said the appointment of their member by the President is in line with international best practices and also in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability which makes provision for the political participation of people with disabilities.

Mohammed said the group would work closely with the Caretaker Committee, through the Office of the National Disability Leader toward achieving a fitting party convention and associated agenda that advance the interest of the party.

While commending President Muhammadu Buhari on salvaging the party with the action he took recently to dissolve the National Working Committee, NWC, and quickly set up a Caretaker Committee and Extraordinary Convention Committee, he said the dissolution of the party leadership was in the best interest of the party going forward.

“This will bring about significant changes and prospects for more remarkable accomplishments in the coming years.

“Protracted internal wrangling can expose the party to potential hazards such as implosion.

“This will be incredibly, irreparably damaging to the survival of Nigeria as a nation. Because, given the enormity of what our country had been through in the years before our ascension as the ruling party, a fractured party will bring back a healing nation to the sorry point it was before our party took charge”, he said.
