Nma Kolo, a special adviser on political affairs to Governor Abubakar Bello, has tipped his boss to organise and conduct a free, fair, and credible APC national convention.

On Monday, Mr Bello took over the Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) leadership in an acting capacity from Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe, reportedly out of the country, for a medical checkup.

“Governor Bello has laid a concrete political foundation needed for our great party to sustain elective structures in the forthcoming general elections. The present political structures in place will pave the way for smooth conduct of transparent convention that will usher in new leaders to lead our party to victory in 2023,” said Mr Kolo.

The governor’s aide urged Mr Bello to remain focused and advised the CECPC to restrict access to the national convention only to those prescribed by article 12(1), sub-section I to IX of the APC constitution.

Mr Kolo also called on APC supporters to continue supporting and cooperating with the party’s leadership to reposition the party.
