Frank Ossai, a contestant for the position of All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy national secretary in the 2018 national convention, has asked the party to declare him the occupant of the position.
This is following the existing vacant position of the deputy national secretary of the party.
Mr Ossai in a statement signed by him and made available to IGBERE TV on Monday said the party should declare him the deputy national secretary as the position is vacant.
“Following the lastest development of the NWC vacant position of the Deputy National Secretary, a position I contested for in the last 2018 APC National Convention. The Convention Election Appeal upheld my petition and request that NWC as a matter of urgency call me for settlement.
“It is only fair that now that the position is vacant that I should be allowed to step in.”
He further said, “According to Article 13 of APC constitution 2014 as amended and Section 141 of the Electoral Act as amended 2015
“For instance is the position of the National Secretary which become vacant, the party in its wisdom fill in Arc. Bulama Waziri who is a product of the convention.
“The Statutes and Precedents should be followed as it will be unmerited and unjust for members of the Party who did not at any point contest for any office in an election to fill the vacant position.
“Permitting this is not only alien but also an act of Party injustice”.
