The council, which was set up in September 2022, has Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, as its Director-General and James Faleke as Secretary.
The dissolution was contained in a statement jointly signed by Lalong and Faleke, on Sunday, April 23.

“The journey has been worthy while with our hard-won victory. The credit goes to all our members, particularly the leaders and members of the various campaign directories.”
The party further expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari for his support and leadership throughout the campaign.
It said the council could not have achieved the level of success without Buhari’s single-mindedness, commitment, and forthrightness.
“We have concluded that it is in the best interest of the party and the stakeholders for us to dissolve the council with immediate effect.
“This has become necessary to retune members toward the May 29 inauguration of the President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“The process of transitioning into a new era of a ‘Renewed Hope’ is underway and all our energies and activities must reflect the principles underlying this process.
“We hope that you will all continue to stay involved in Nigeria’s political process and to advocate for issues that you believe in,” the APC added.
The party, therefore, thanked members of the council for their support, dedication, and hardwork, adding that democracy was stronger when all participate in the political process with a patriotic spirit.
