The All Progressives Congress’ National Convention Coordination Committee Secretariat has declared its readiness to ensure a transparent and credible process ahead of its convention.

AGF Lateef Fagbemi, chairman of the APC NCCCS, disclosed this during a meeting of the committee on Thursday in Abuja. Mr Fagbemi promised fair play in the 2027 elections.

According to Mr Fagbemi, the party is tightening its grip on the road to 2027, rolling out a battery of committees and promising a rule-bound, national convention.

Mr Fagbemi said several committees were formed to look at issues such as the legal framework, dispute resolution, documentation, drafting legal instruments, and many other matters that may be necessary during and after the convention.

He said that, as democrats, the APC also decided to look into inclusivity for all party members.

Mr Fagbemi said the committee was headed by him, former Governor Ibrahim Shema, Victor Ndoma-Egba and many senior advocates of Nigeria.

He added that the committee also included academicians and other lawyers who have contributed immensely, and we have received all the reports of the various committees.

According to him, with that, NCCCS is swinging into action to avoid any issues that may arise before, during, and after the convention.

Mr Fagbemi said that with the structure on the ground, APC is ready for fair play. He described the party as law-abiding and respectful of democratic principles, aligning its approach with the rule-of-law agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

Highlighting its national outlook, Mr Fagbemi maintained that the party remained open to all Nigerians regardless of region, age, or background, stressing that its growing strength is rooted in inclusivity and internal cohesion.

He said the party would not exclude anybody, adding that APC went to the root of the democratic process and of all Nigerians’ concerns and interests.
