20 April 2014

Lagos — The All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its State Congresses scheduled for Wednesday, April 23rd, to allow state governors under the aegis of the party to attend the rescheduled expanded National Security Council meeting fixed for that day to discuss the security situation in the country.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the postponement (to Saturday, April 26th) was a confirmation of the party's stated stand to be part of all genuine efforts to end the insurgency in the country, and its strong belief that bipartisanship must replace the crass partisanship of the presidency and the ruling party if the security crisis was to be overcome.
