The APC leaders say the Tinubu administration cannot afford another crisis from the National Assembly after the current energy crisis occasioned by fuel subsidy removal.
The leaders of the All Progressives Congress and former senators previously elected on the party’s platform have appealed to the aggrieved aspirants for the senate presidency to step down for Godswill Akpabio.
A former governor of Ogun State, Olusegun Osoba, and Tanko Yakasai, a former liason officer to former President Shehu Shagari, were among the notable leaders of the APC that attended the meeting. “We, therefore, call on all you sakeholders to support this patriotic move. In the interest of Nigeria’s national stability, peace, and party cohesion. We equally request once again that other aspirants withdraw their candidacies.”Mr Osoba in his comment urged leaders of the APC and the former senators to lobby the aggrieved senators and ensure they persuade them before the election day
