The President presided over the 11th meeting of the NEC.
Addressing the committee, the National Chairman of the party said the meeting is the first the National Working Committee will be having with the NEC and will begin the process by uniting aggrieved members as well as discussing upcoming elections.
Adamu also encouraged members to uphold exemplary behaviours, according to him, the party’s intrinsic problem is the crisis fueled by ego.
He noted that various ego within the party has widened the gap between the former and serving governors and it poses a risk of causing a divide in the party and allowing members to suffer.
The National Chairman called for a discontinuation of the present rancour within the party because according to him there is no reason for the competition.
He also asked the serving governors to work harmoniously and with mutual respect with their former governors, some of whom are not senators to resolve many of the inherent challenges.
The new watchword he says should be APC first.
He promised that the NWC will deliver, particularly with a United front, noting that contrary to predictions of dissolution, the party has emerged stronger.
He further urged members to desist from using the media to settle grievances but resort to the constitutional provisions of the party for dispute resolution.
Meanwhile, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has resolved to vest the powers on the National Working Committee (NWC) for the next three months.
This motion is moved by the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, and seconded by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila at Wednesday’s NEC meeting.
Senator Lawan pledged total commitment and support to the party saying insecurity in Nigeria grew over the years and did not emerge from the present administration.
He however assured that given the enormous investment to tackle insecurity, the situation will abate before the end of the President’s tenure in office.
