The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated reasons why the Gombe State Caretaker Working Committee was reconstituted.

The Party’s Deputy National Chairman (North), Sen. Lawal Shuaibu, on Monday evening while inaugurating the newly constituted four-member caretaker committee, cited “irreconcilable differences” among members of the previous Caretaker Working Committee.

Sen. Shuaibu said: “We have had a lot of challenges running the Party in Gombe state, challenges which I narrated when we inaugurated the first caretaker committee. We got to a stage where a consensus was reached as to how we can move the Party in Gombe state forward. Arising from that, we constituted a caretaker committee. The caretaker committee did a wonderful job, but along the line we observed some irreconcilable differences among the members.

“Observing that there was no way they could reconcile themselves, their personal differences, for that reason and only that reason we decided to ask them to step aside and we are today inaugurating a newly reconstituted caretaker committee.

“The caretaker committee basically is not there to do any other thing except what the National headquarter has asked them to do on the basis of resolutions reached with the stakeholders of Gombe during its meeting with the National Working Committee (NWC).

“Any other thing should be left for the NWC to handle. We can handle every challenge if we have the cooperation of the stakeholders. The newly constituted caretaker committee have a mission, a mandate and they are only expected to discharge their mandate not any other thing.”

The newly constituted caretaker members are: Hon. Idi Barde Gubana (State Chairman); Alh. Sani Haruna (State Dep. Chairman); Bello Kasimu Maigari (State Secretary) and Barr. A.B. Lusa (State Legal Adviser). The caretaker function will be for an initial renewable period of three (3) months commencing from 17th February, 2017 unless otherwise terminated by the National Working Committee (NWC).
