“The Forum wishes to state categorically that it remains resolute in its determination to ensure unity and cohesion of this great Party that Nigerians have come to trust as the best platform for democratic “On the recent postponement of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party, Gov Muhammad said that the Forum has accepted the development in solidarity with the Governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Eno Basseu who is set to bury his wife on the same day the NEC meeting was initially slated. “The Forum is constrained to accept the latest postponement of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Party in empathy with our colleague, H.E.

Once again, the Forum wishes to commiserate with our colleague and pray that God will grant him and the family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”

The Forum recommended the first week of February 2025 for the NWC to convene the meeting to allow time for issues to be sorted out. “The Forum is strongly advising the NWC to call NEC latest by the first week of February 2025 to allow for elaborate consultations with critical stakeholders of the Party. The period between November and February is to address the existential problems confronting the Party, with a deliberate timeline of activities within the period under review to address issues of leadership and litigations confronting the Party”.

The Forum empathized with Nigerians who are groaning under what they described as “the oppressive economic hardship foisted on the nation by the policies and decisions of the APC-led Federal Government”.
