The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Yobe State Governor, Mr Mai Mala Buni on Thursday led members of the committee to the National leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in its bid to achieve reconciliation in the party.
The visit is coming few days after the National Working Committee was dissolved by the National Executive Committee and a caretaker committee was constituted.
Mamman Mohammed spokesperson for the Yobe state helsman, stated that the meeting is in a bid to chart a new course for the party.
He said “those in attendance include Kebbi state Governor and chairman Progressives Governors Forum Sen. Abubakar Bagudu, Niger state Governor, Alh. Abubakar S. Bello and Lagos state Governor Babajide San-Olu,” he disclosed.
The Committee, had earlier met former interim Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande.
Addressing reporters at the end of the meeting, Tinubu said the meeting was a consultation to move the party forward following the recent disagreements among some aggrieved members.
He, however, denied any report of differences or rancour, although he said there was no way there would not be dissent in a political association.
The committee is also to discuss the upcoming governorship elections in Ondo and Edo States.
The APC was thrown into leadership crisis following the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiohmole as the National Chairman and the endorsement of Victor Giadom as Acting National Chairman for two weeks by a court.
However, majority of the National Working Committee (NWC) members appointed the ailing Deputy National Chairman, South, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, as the Acting National Chairman.
The National Vice Chairman South South, Hilliard Eta, was subsequently appointed to act on his behalf. The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, led by President Muhammadu Buhari dissolved the NWC and appointed Governor Buni as Chairman Caretaker/Extra-ordinary convention committee of the party.
