We are further concerned that this development signposts a lack of inclusiveness in the leadership of APC and the government it birthed,\u201d he noted.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He added that despite the active roles played by CPC state chairmen in the electoral victories of the APC, many of them have been sidelined in appointments and party structures at both the national and state levels.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Forum nonetheless affirmed the right of individuals to remain within or exit the party, describing such moves as a legitimate democratic choice.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAgainst the conflicting statements concerning the position of the CPC bloc within the APC, we believe that those who chose to either leave or remain in APC have merely exercised their democratic rights,\u201d the Forum said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Oyaremi concluded by stressing that, aside from a few exceptions, the majority of the Forum members have resolved to remain in the APC, standing firmly with former President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_5997087695870112311ymail_android_signature\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Myke Agunwa Forum of State Chairmen of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has pledged its support for the re-election project of President Bola Tinubu and reiterated its&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":118017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-118331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
