Governors belonging to the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) have shunned a planned meeting of the
Progressive Governors Forum in Katsina, forcing the organisers to cancel the
event.
The meeting scheduled to hold between
Sept. 14 and 16, was to set legislative agenda for the implementation of the
APC manifesto.
Also absent was the Senate President,
Speaker, House of Representatives, Speakers of APC state assemblies and key
officers of the party.
The Chairman, Local Organising
Committee, Alhaji Mustapha Inuwa told newsmen that the parley had to be
postponed due to poor attendance.
According to him, most of the
expected dignitaries have travelled to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj.
Inuwa, who is the Secretary to
Katsina State Government, said although the state was fully prepared to host
the event, ‘’the postponement was necessary in view of low turnout of
participants’’.
The Director General of Progressive
Governors Forum, Salihu Lukman said that a new date would be announced for the
inaugural parley later.
Lukman said that the parley would
assist APC governors to adhere to the party’s vision and mission and translate
it into good governance.
