A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), United Kingdom chapter, Mr Ibrahim Emokpaire, has expressed desire to be the next national chairman of the party.
Emokpaire made his intention known in a statement on Friday in Abuja, and said that he had what was needed to move the party to the next level.
He also said that he had the capacity to bring lasting peace to the party and to ensure that it continued in power in 2019 and beyond.
Emokpaire, who is a former chairman of defunct
Action Congress of Nigeria in the United Kingdom, however, said that the race for the chairmanship was not going to be ´´a two-horse race´´.
The aspirant, also from Edo as the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and another aspirant and former governor of the state, Adam Oshiomhole, is a management consultant.
The tenure of Odigie-Oyegun and other executives of the party at all levels would end in June.
The National Convention to elect a new national executive of the party has been scheduled for May 14.
Activities earlier released by the party´s Organising Secretary, Sen. Osita Izunaso, indicated that ward congresses would hold on May 2, while appeals that may arise from the exercise would be heard on May 3.
According to it, local government congresses will hold on May 5, with appeals arising from the exercise fixed for May 7.
The states are expected to hold their congresses on May 9 to elect executives and entertain appeals on May 10.
