Adedayo Akinwale writes that with the recent dissolution of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, the Caretaker Committee led by its Chairman and the Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, has been tasked to reconcile aggrieved members of the party
Since 2015 when the party won the presidential election, it has not been able to manage its success, as the party has been embroiled in one crisis or the other. The internal rancour within the party led to the easing out of office of the former national Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and later saw the popular emergence of the immediate past national chairman of the party, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole.
One of the major reasons while the crisis that rocked the party festered was mainly because meetings of party organs were not allowed to hold by the NWC to resolve various party crisis. Other states where the state chapters of the party have their own fair share of the crisis included; Bauchi, Bayelsa, Kano, Gombe, Kaduna, Kogi, Benue, Plateau, Adamawa, Yobe, among others. Though, the ruling party was able to win elections in most of the troubled spots, but it was expected that the leadership of the party should have reigned in and bring the crisis to a close.
The chairman noted that as a political party built on strong ideology, parading men and women of enduring principle and integrity, the party must prepare for real and anticipated changes and their consequences. It said that their appointments was in line with the process of true reconciliation among leaders and members of the party at all levels.
The Constitutional lawyer who was recently appointed as the Secretary of the Appeal Committee for Edo State Governorship primary election, said that it was unfair to castigate members of political party for trying to vent their grievances in a court of competent jurisdiction where there is no adequate provision and procedures in the party’s Constitution.
It is worthy to note that this is not be the first time the party is setting up committees to reconcile aggrieved party members. Immediately after the 2019 elections, Tinubu was tasked by the president to reconcile aggrieved party members. Despite being a founding member of the party, the National Leader of APC failed pitifully in that assignment.
