President Bola Tinubu has openly reached out to aggrieved elements in his ruling All Progressives Congress APC, urging them to be calm and promising to not let them down.
The president spoke on Wednesday at a meeting of the National Executive Committee NEC of the party which held at the “Buhari House”, APC’s national secretariat.
Former Governor of Kaduna state, Malam Nasir el-Rufai and that of Rivers, Rotimi Amaechi are some of those who had openly expressed umbrage at the state of affairs in the party.
Addressing NEC members, Tinubu who scored himself high, expressed delight the food prices are coming down in the lead up to the Muslim fasting, Ramadan.
He also approved the setting up of reconciliation committees in all the states, as well as the relocation of the party’s national secretariat which he said has become “too small”.
Tinubu said; “I have heard your various remarks on how we have strengthened the security of our sovereignty and food security in the country.
“I am grateful to all Nigerians for the electoral successes that we have recorded from one state to another and I am also happy for the various people joining us in the National Assembly.
“On the economy, I am happy the food prices are going down particularly during this Ramadan period.
“Let the NEC find a way to celebrate our progressive ideals and I promise you, our governors and Nigerians, that we will sustain these progressive changes.
“Everywhere in the world especially in Europe, we have economic shocks and we are doing everything possible.
“The place we are gathering today is too small for us and I agree with you that we need a bigger location. I think the Minister of National Planning is here, we will discuss with the minster in charge and we will do something about it.
“The National Working Committee NWC is doing a good job and I am happy with them.
“In all the various states let us set up reconciliatory committees to liaise with these aggrieved leaders. I am appealing to them, please be calm. I am very happy and I promise not to let any of you down”.
Earlier, National Chairman of the party, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje who spoke on his achievements within the last one and half years, said the party leadership is focused on winning the Governorship elections in Anambra and Osun states.
“Your Excellency, our focus is now on Anambra and Osun states and in compliance with the time-table released by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, the Party has already begun preparations in earnest for the conduct of the primary elections in Anambra scheduled for April”.
He said the party has also embarked on reconciliatory moves which he said are already yielding positive results.
“We have also embarked on massive reconciliation of aggrieved party members, and this move is gradually yielding desired positive results for the Party.
“Through dialogue, we have initiated high level discussions among party leaders and other stakeholders with a view to resolving lingering differences among our members. The Conflict Reconciliation Committee which you are about to approve will build on this”, he added.
Some of those in attendance at the meeting were the governors of Edo, Benue, Ondo, Ekiti, Kaduna, Jigawa, Nasarawa, Yobe, Niger, Lagos, Kogi, Ogun, Imo, deputy governor of Ebonyi and former governors of Kogi, Kebbi, Niger, Zamfara, Plateau.
