National
Convention committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the
existence of a ‘unity list’.
Senior
Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Diaspora Matters and member
of the Publicity sub committee, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa said this on Monday.
Dabiri-Erewa,
after a meeting of the convention committee, however, said there was room for
affirmation and consensus by contestants and delegates.
She told
newsmen: “The meeting today is about getting set for the convention which is
going ahead as scheduled and is taking place at Eagles square Abuja.
“Screening
has been done; there is twenty positions that is going unopposed, so there’s 42
position to be contested.
“Some people
were disqualified, for example if you are 40 years and going for national youth
leader, you know you will be disqualified or you don’t have requisite
educational qualification.
“The bottom
line is that this convention is going ahead. And we here of the existence of a
unity list. This is not true, there is no unity list.
“But of
course consensus is allowed, affirmation is allowed. And of course as I said
some people are running unopposed.
“There’s no
such list as Unity list, if see any list, it is a fake list. The election will
be held, and it will be free, fair and credible,” she said.
