APC dissolves presidential campaign council ahead May 29 inauguration
The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the APC has been dissolved to retune members for the May 29 inauguration of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The council, set up in September 2022, has Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau as its director-general and Rep. James Faleke as secretary.
The dissolution is contained in a statement jointly signed by Messrs Lalong and Faleke, and Bashir Ahmad, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Digital Communications and tweeted early Sunday morning.
The party appreciated Mr Buhari’s unwavering support and leadership throughout the campaign.
It said the council could not have achieved the level of success without Mr Buhari’s single-mindedness, commitment and forthrightness.
“We have concluded that it is in the best interest of the party and the stakeholders for us to dissolve the council with immediate effect.
“This has become necessary to retune members toward the May 29 inauguration of the president-elect Sen. Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“The process of transitioning into a new era of a ‘Renewed Hope’ is underway, and all our energies and activities must reflect the principles underlying this process.
“We hope that you will all continue to stay involved in Nigeria’s political process and to advocate for issues that you believe in,” it said.
It thanked members of the council for their support, dedication, and hard work, adding that democracy was stronger when all participated in the political process with a patriotic spirit.
