• Orji Uzor Kalu has sent an authentic list of delegates from Abia state ahead of the APC national convention
• Kalu said he needed to send the list to the leadership of the ruling party to avoid the importation of fictitious names
• The former Abia governor, therefore, called on Mai Mala Buni, the chairman of the APC's caretaker committee, to treat the list as very crucial

Ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the chief whip of the Senate, has forwarded the authentic list of statutory delegates from Abia to the national leadership of the party.

In a letter to Mai Mala Buni, the chairman of the APC's caretaker committee, Kalu said the compilation of the list of delegates is to "avoid the infiltration and importation of fictitious names and designations by some overzealous party men."

Meanwhile, the Coalition of Independent Observers on Sunday, March 13, accused some leaders within the APC of plots to undermine Nigeria's democracy.

The coalition said some members it described as cabals are hell-bent on using autocratic means to truncate the nation's democracy.

Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja, the executive director of the coalition, Abdullahi Bilal, said that the concept of internal democracy is effectively dead in the ruling party.
