President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday
urged leaders of the All Progressives Congress to quickly resolve the
internal crisis within the party.
He said they must avoid disappointing Nigerians.
A statement by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, quoted the President as speaking
while addressing members of the National Executive Committee of the APC
in Abuja.
Buhari warned that having won the battle
of the last general elections, the APC now runs the risk of losing the
“war” for party unity and internal cohesion.
The President affirmed his belief in the
supremacy of the APC’s change pact with Nigerians over the personal
ambitions of its members.
“As
human beings, we are not perfect, but let us do our best to eventually
win this ‘war’ so that we can get on with the urgent task of delivering
on our electoral promises to the nation,” the statement quoted Buhari as
saying.
Tracing the history of the APC from
pre-merger talks to electoral victory, the President urged APC members
to put their personal ambitions aside and resolve their current
differences for the good of the party and the nation.
The APC Chairman, Chief John
Odigie-Oyegun, was said to have earlier told the gathering that
President Buhari opted to attend the NEC meeting at the APC Secretariat,
rather than host the parley at the Banquet Hall of the State House
because he wanted to raise the spirit of party members with his presence
at the secretariat.
