APC NWC, Governors, PCC Members Resolves To Work For Tinubu

There had been speculations that Tinubu had sidelined the NWC of the party in the selection of its campaign council members, which didn't sit well with the National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu.

However, in its meeting, the three organs agreed to set up a conflict resolution mechanism for resolving issues that may affect the presidential campaign and the chance of the ruling party at the poll.

APC leaders were in one accord at their strategy meeting at the party secretariat in Abuja, which was at the instance of the national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.

It was learnt that the crucial meeting was meant to herald the campaigns.

Adamu who addressed journalists after the meeting that lasted for about five hours, stated that the leaders, governors and the campaign council have resolved to forge ahead in harmony.

He said: "We are very comfortable. We have established machinery for resolving everything. We are together with the governor's forum and NWC. I believe the meeting we had is more than useful to us. For us, nothing short of victory, and that is the spirit of this meeting."

The chairman, who refused to disclose when the party will commence its planned nationwide campaign, however, said APC cannot run faster than its shadow.

Adamu said the party recognised the important role of all its organs, stressing that meaningful progress cannot be made in the 2023 elections without the support of APC governors.

He said: "Essentially, we want to interact with our governors who are the custodians of the fate of APC in their various states that they are privileged by God to lead at this point of Nigeria's democratic dispensation.

"Being the chief executive officers of their various states, the onus lies in the hands of God and their hands because they are the commanders of the party fortunes in their various states.

"We cannot make meaningful progress in the affairs of these states, particularly in an election year that is approaching. We cannot plan without the buy-in of our governors so, that we can stand together, believing that we share the same aspirations. We will plan together to see how best we can deliver the interest of the party and ensure that victory is ours in the 2023 general election that is by the corner."
