As the All Progressives Congress
crisis deepens, President Muhammadu Buhari has taken over the process of
restoring the confidence of aggrieved members of the party.
A top-ranking member of the
party’s National Working Committee confirmed the development to one of our
correspondents in Abuja on Sunday.
He spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media on the issue.
The source said, “The President
has chosen a different approach this time; he is meeting with the aggrieved
persons directly so that he can deal with the situation.
“As you know, some of our party
people go to tell him things and only the aggrieved can say what level of
injustice they suffered. He even met with a delegation of aggrieved party
members from Bauchi yesterday. ”
The Senior Special Assistant to
the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed this development
in an interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja, on Sunday.
Shehu spoke amidst media reports
that Buhari had set up a five-man committee to look into the post-primaries
crises and advise him accordingly.
Media reports had it that the
committee had since submitted its report to the President and that he (the
President) would be meeting some critical stakeholders on Tuesday.
Although he did not give details
of Buhari’s intervention, Shehu said the President was “deeply and directly
involved” in the efforts aimed at ensuring peace in the party.
The presidential spokesman added
that Buhari’s involvement was evident in some of his recent activities.
He said, “The President is aware
of the urgency of the situation (the APC post-primaries crises) and he is
dealing with the matter headlong.
“He is directly and deeply
involved in how to resolve the issue as can be seen from his activities
lately.”
