The Congress Appeal Committee set up by the All Progressives Congress to review petitions from last Saturday’s ward congresses has so far received petitions from 15 states.
It was gathered in Abuja that petitions were received from Kwara, Osun, Lagos, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Niger, Kano and Ogun among others.
Of the 33 states where congresses were held, only 21 submitted their reports as at close of business on Wednesday.
National Secretary of the Caretaker/ Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the APC, Senator John Akpanudoede had while inaugurating the Appeal Panel, charged members to be fair to all parties and ensure justice was done.
Spokesperson for the Concerned APC members, Abdullahi Dauda, however said, “For justice to be done, there should be a total review of what happens last week. There were no congresses in most of the states, people just sat down somewhere and said they did consensus.”
