“The issues currently confronting our party at this time are such that should worry every party member… It is obvious that the fortunes of the party are currently in jeopardy.”
He rang the alarm bells as the party held a virtual emergency National Executive Committee meeting, which dissolved the National Working Committee led by the suspended National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole.
Speaking further on the need to end litigations, the President said: “The directive had been issued before, unfortunately, some members failed to heed the directive. Thus, at this time, it must be made a resolution of the party, which must be effectively enforced with dire consequences for members who choose to ignore the directive.”
For about an hour, Buni spoke with the staff of the secretariat at the party’s conference room, assuring them he would deploy his experience to reposition the APC. Key PGF members such as Governors Nasir Ahmed el-Rufai, Kayode Fayemi, Rotimi Akeredolu, Simon Lalong, Abubakar Badaru and Atiku Bagudu, believed to have been working underground to achieve the goal, apparently latched on to the leadership crisis that rocked the party to score the momentary victory against Tinubu.
On the growing perception that Oshiomhole and Governor Godwin Obaseki were sacrificed to move the APC forward, Ojezua said: “No, they were not sacrificed. Unfortunately, Obaseki left because Oshiomhole pushed him out. Not the party. Obaseki did not have problems with the party. It was Oshiomhole that had problems with Obaseki. In fact, the President expressed deep regret and pain that Obaseki had to leave the party.
“We have to give glory to God over what happened, today because it will strengthen the party. We are now moving to a party. The Oshiomhole era is past now. We just can’t cope with so many litigations without compromises and teamwork. These are issues that are not good for any political party.” “We urge the Nigerian Bar Association to impress on senior members of the Bar to put the country’s interest and the judiciary above every other interest and not allow personal considerations to outweigh their commitment to the profession, the rule of law and due process. It is in the best interest of the Bar and the Bench not to do anything that would bring them into disrepute.
“I hereby declare that the Osagie Ize-iyamu is qualified to contest, being a registered member of the All Progressives Congress,” Ahamojie declared.
