APC Leaders Must Support Buhari To Reset Party – DG Progressive Govs Forum

Leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been called upon to team up behind President Muhammadu Buhari in order to have a successful National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party, on thursday.

The call was made on Wednesday by the Director-General of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, Salihu Lukeman in a statement.

Lukman noted that the meeting was important to calm the tension in the party.

The statement read in part, “All committed party members and leaders should rally behind President Buhari in support of the scheduled NEC meeting to hold so that we are able to reset the APC back to its 2013 orientation of inclusive and participatory politics.

“To achieve that, the public debate should be about proposals to ensure that the NEC succeed rather than attempting to throw up legal blockades!

“Some drastic steps are just required to restore some order and sanity in APC. With all the confusion as to who is our presiding officer, coupled with the fact that the most important structure that is saddled with the responsibility of convening meetings of all organs of the party is fractured and entangled in webs of legal cases, it is either the confusion is allowed to continue and eventually end with the demise of the party, or our leaders find a way to save the party.”
