The National Interim Executive Committee of the All Progressives
Congress has approved the establishment of State Harmonisation
Committees in order not to create a vacuum and also to regulate the
activities of the party at the state level and the Federal Capital
Territory.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its Interim National
Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the decision
to set up the State Harmonization Committees followed the adoption of
the report of the Masari

According to the statement, the SHC shall comprise President/Vice

Governors/Deputy Governors, past and serving, who are members of the
Legacy Parties; Serving and former Senators who are members of the
Legacy Parties; Serving members of the House of Representatives who
are members of the Party; and Speakers or Minority Leaders of the
States Houses of Assembly who are members of the party.
The APC listed others as former Ministers who are members of the
Legacy Parties; all immediate past National EXCO Members of the Legacy
Parties; Immediate past gubernatorial candidates of Legacy Parties and
their Deputies, where APC does not have a sitting governor, who are
still Members of the Legacy Parties; nine persons comprising of three
elders, three youths and three women, with one of each being from each
of the Senatorial Districts of the state; state chairmen and the
secretaries of the Legacy Parties; members of the National Interim
EXCO; and Federal Commissioners who are members of the Legacy Parties.
The party said these persons shall be recommended to the National
Interim EXCO for their approval and inauguration by the National Vice
Chairmen in conjunction with members of the National Interim EXCO from
their Zone.
It listed the functions of the SHC as including to harmonize and fuse
the structures of Legacy Parties into one united, strong and vibrant
party in an atmosphere of peace and harmony; organize and hold
meetings of the party at all levels in the state (that is polling
units, wards, LGA, Area Council and State); and to embark on massive
mobilization, coordination and consolidation of members into the party
in accordance with stipulated guidelines issued by National interim
EXCO.
The APC said the SHC shall also take inventory of existing assets of
Legacy Parties across the state, harmonize same for the effective
establishment of the party structure in all polling units, wards,
Local Government and State in accordance with the directive and
guidelines from the National Interim EXCO, and ensure effective
implementation of the registration process, such that all persons
desiring registration into the party are afforded the right to be so
registered in accordance with the directives from the National Interim EXCO.
“This Committee shall be answerable and report to the Interim National
EXCO of its decisions and steps taken in the performance of the
assignment through the National Vice Chairman of the zone,” the party
