Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Forum of Former Deputy Governors has demanded to be included as members of the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n

They made the demand at a meeting with the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje, while on a solidarity visit to the party secretariat in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the forum and former deputy governor of Abia State, Chris Akomas, noted that former deputy governors have the experience and expertise needed by the party\u2019s highest decision-making organ.<\/p>\n

According to Akomas, who is the Federal Commissioner representing Abia State at the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission Abuja, the forum is organised in a manner that they recognise that they are politicians who are focused on the unity, progress and stability of the country.<\/p>\n

The forum thanked President Tinubu for finding some of them worthy to be given federal appointments in his administration.<\/p>\n

Responding, Ganduje stated that the position and importance of the deputy governor, although most controversial in the country\u2019s politics, cannot be overemphasised.<\/p>\n

The former Kano State governor attributed most problems between governors and their deputies to sycophants within the corridors of power, while describing the situation as unfortunate.<\/p>\n
