The Finance Sub-Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention has confirmed that it has met its funding requirements for the party's national convention. The committee, chaired by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State and co-chaired by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, has successfully mobilised resources for the event.
The committee's secretary, Abubakar Kyari, disclosed this development in Abuja on Thursday. According to him, the sub-committee had made significant progress over the past two weeks, culminating in the successful mobilisation of resources needed for the event. The funds raised are adequate to cover the requirements presented by the organising committee for the national convention.
Contributions are still ongoing, with additional pledges still coming from various stakeholders. The committee has effectively carried out its primary responsibility of soliciting contributions from well-meaning Nigerians, party members, organisations, and associates. Once the final figures are confirmed, they will be communicated to the public.
The committee's efforts have been boosted by the support and commitment of contributors and stakeholders to the success of the national convention. The convention is scheduled to take place on Friday and Saturday in Abuja.
The APC's Finance Sub-Committee has successfully raised sufficient funds for the party's national convention, a significant development given the party's recent financial woes. The committee, chaired by Governor Hope Uzodimma and co-chaired by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, deserves credit for effectively mobilising resources for the event. However, the fact that contributions are still ongoing raises questions about the transparency and accountability of the party's financial dealings. As Nigerians, we expect the APC to be transparent about the sources of its funding and how it will be used. The convention's success will be a test of the party's ability to manage its finances and deliver on its promises to the people.
