Dr. Salihu Lukman, a former Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), claims that Governors Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State are conspiring with the Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Mai Mala Buni, to sabotage the party’s national convention on March 26.
In a statement released Friday, Lukman stated that whether the APC would produce both party leaders and candidates for the 2023 elections who can justify the faith placed in them is contingent on how all of the party’s present leadership difficulties are handled.
Lukman stressed that anyone who loves Buni should be more worried about protecting his honour as a political leader by ensuring that he doesn’t become a letdown who stands opposed to the majority decisions of party leaders and members.

He noted that if Buni shares the vision of all the founding leaders of the party of making the APC truly democratic and progressive, it is expected that he would be willing to make every personal sacrifice to demonstrate his support for the decisions of the party
Lukman said that was the legacy demonstrated by Chief Bisi Akande, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Chief Tony Momoh of blessed memory, Chief John Oyegun and Adams Oshiomhole
His words: “There are known collaborators of His Excellency Mai Mala who have colluded with him to ensure that all attempts to organise the APC National Convention are blocked.
“Three Governors who are known and must also be called upon to account for their roles in undermining decisions to organise the APC National Convention are His Excellency Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, His Excellency Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and His Excellency Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.

“There are other party leaders, including Sen Uzo Kalu who have actively supported His Excellency Mai Mala to undermine the decision to organise the National Convention of the party.”
Lukman stressed that the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for March 17 should initiate processes of a disciplinary hearing in line with provisions of the APC Constitution to sanction all these leaders if found guilty.
