2023: APC boasts of unity as its strongest weapon in readiness for election

The All Progressives Congress [APC] says it will approach the 2023 general elections with a united front with the party boasting of peace and understanding among its ranks.

National Chairman of APC caretaker/extraordinary convention planning committee, Governor Mai Mala Buni said this on Monday at the inauguration of the National Reconciliation Committee of the party.

Governor Buni said loyal members of the party have willingly withdraw all court cases against the party and it is important to set up a reconciliation committee that will address issues arising from the congresses of the party.

He said: “It is gratifying that loyal party members have complied with the directive to withdraw the multiple court cases instituted against the party. This has no doubt contributed to the speedy reconciliation and rebirth of the party. I am proud to say that our party today is more united, stronger and bigger.

“The membership registration and revalidation exercise carried out by the party is of course, another major milestone achievement for the party.

“It was a crucial tool in the recovery of the party. Over 40 million members were registered while the process is still on-going. It provided existing and new members with a sense of belonging and ownership of the party. I congratulate all stakeholders, women and youth for the active roles they played towards the success of the exercise.

“The much anticipated congresses have commenced and progressed with significant successes. The party ensured that the provisions of the Constitution are highly protected and respected. We have also constituted mechanisms such as the Appeal committees to address complaints arising from the conduct of the congresses.

“The Caretaker committee found it expedient to constitute the National Reconciliation Committee to reconcile emerging misunderstandings and differences which might arise from the outcome of the congresses”, he explained.

The ruling party also said it has decapitated strongholds of the opposition parties in the southeast with increasing defection of their members.

The newly inaugurated Chairman of the Reconciliation committee and former governor of Nasarawa Atate, Abdullahi Adamu promised to carry out the assignment without fear or favor.

Other members of the APC reconciliation committee include :Otunba Moses Alake Adeyemo – Secretary, Minister of Special Duties Sen. George Akume, Former Governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Alh. Suleiman Argungu, Dr. Mrs. Oluranti I. Adebule,Dr. Mrs. Beta Edu and Ali Saad Birnin kudu.
