Two former speakers of the House of Representative, Dimeji Bankole and Yakubu Dogara, have been appointed to serve on the 61-man contact/strategy committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Chairman Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the APC, Governor Mai Mala Buni, is expected to inaugurate the committee which also has other new comers to the party, Iyiola Omisore and Gbenga Daniel.
The committee, among other things, is also to develop strategies that will place the party in vantage position in the public domain and develop a timeline and framework for implementation of its recommendations.
Caretaker Committee Secretary, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in a statement on Monday said the development was part of ongoing efforts by the Caretaker Committee to rebuild and reposition the party.
Membership of the committee includes Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege; 11 Governors, former and serving members of the National Assembly, members of the Federal Executive Council and some party chieftains.
