The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has promised to hold a National Executive Committee today where it hopes to resolve all of it's problems.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday, July 3, vowed to emerge strong from its first National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting after its post-election crisis.
The crisis, which has for weeks divided the party’s leaders, erupted after the June 9 election of principal officers at the National Assembly.
Senate President Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara emerged against the party’s wish.
The party endorsed Senator Ahmed Lawan for Senate and Femi Gbajabiamila for Speaker.
“We are set for the meeting which will address some issues. We are expecting the President, our governors and leaders in the National Assembly. The NEC will properly constitute the Board of Trustees (BOT) of APC because we want all our organs to function effectively.
“We are in the process of reconciliation; we will definitely put our house in order and emerge stronger,” National Secretary Mai Buni said yesterday,
“Politics is sometimes like that. You know our party is the first story of a successful merger of major parties in the country; we were also the first opposition party to dislodge a sitting government; and this is the first time an opposition party is having majority in the National Assembly. You should expect some teething problems but we will reconcile and reunite all.” he added.
