The ruling party, APC,
is currently holding it's National Executive Committee (NEC) at the
party’s national secretariat in Abuja today, July 3.
President
Muhammadu Buhari, his vice, Yemi Osinbajo, all APC governors, the
National Assembly leadership, Senators and members of the House of Reps
are present at the meeting.
The
crisis rocking the party since the election of Bukola Saraki and Yakubu
Dorgara as Senate President and the Speaker of House respectively
happens to be the main agenda of the meeting.
During the meeting, Buhari advised APC members to place national interest above self-interest.
“The
elections have come and gone and the APC has won the battle and lost the
war, this is the paradox of democracy and we can see how we are going
to manage it.
“I have
a worthy appeal to you, the chairman, to you the leadership of the
party, to you the senators and members of the house of representatives
and to you the governors that the APC must not disappoint our
constituencies and the nation state.
“What
ever your personal interests, put them in your pocket. Let APC work. Let
the system work. I appeal to you to accept the superiority of the
party. I cannot confine myself in Sambisa forest and refuse to
participate in the meeting because I respect the superiority of the
party.”
“We
thank God in four years we have to convince our constituencies that we
are individually worthy of the sacrifices they have made, we have stayed
awake days and nights, travelling around to make sure that the party
emerge victorious.
What
subsequently happen is human, and as human beings, we are not perfect
but let our collective action in this party rules because we have won
the election and we will eventually win the war,” he said.
