The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has appointed a
19-member committee with the mandate to negotiate its planned merger
with the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria
Peoples Party (ANPP).
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the committee, to be
chaired by Chief Tom Ikimi, has as members Aremo Olusegun Osoba, Otunba
Niyi Adebayo, Governors Babatunde Fashola and Rauf Aregbesola, Sen. John
Akpanudoedehe, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyawu, Sen. George Akume and Hon.Abike
Dabiri-Erewa.
Other members are Sen. Lawal Shuaibu, Chief Audu Ogbe, Chief Achike
Udenwa, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Sen. Chris Ngige, Dr. Usman Bugaje,
Hadjia Rabiat Eshak, Dr. Ibrahim Y. Lame, Alhaji Yusuf Ali and Alhaji
Lai Mohammed.
ACN said the appointment of the committee is an indication of its
total commitment to making the merger a reality, adding that there is no
going back in the party’s determination to work with the CPC and the
ANPP to rescue and salvage Nigeria.
It also congratulated the leadership of the CPC and the ANPP, which
have already named their own merger committees, for their patriotism,
and appealed to all Nigerians to support the planned merger.
”We will like to inform Nigerians that contrary to what the doubters
and spoilers are saying, the three parties are going into the merger
plans unconditionally and without a set mind over posts or anything
else. The only issue that has been settled is the urgent need to rescue
and salvage our country. In this regard, the opposition knows it has a
date with history!” ACN said
