STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
LET'S PUT OUR HOUSE IN ORDER TO AVOID DISAPPOINTING NIGERIANS - PRESIDENT BUHARI URGES APC LEADERS
President
Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja urged leaders of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) to work hard to quickly resolve internal differences in
the party and avoid disappointing Nigerians.
Addressing
members of the National Executive Committee of the APC, President
Buhari warned that having won the battle of the last general elections,
the APC now runs the risk of losing the "war" for party unity and
internal cohesion.
The
President affirmed his belief in the supremacy of the APC's Change Pact
with Nigerians over the personal ambitions of its members.
"As
human beings, we are not perfect, but let us do our best to eventually
win this 'war' so that we can get on with the urgent task of delivering
on our electoral promises to the nation," he said.
Tracing
the history of the APC from pre-merger talks to electoral victory, the
President urged APC members to put their personal ambitions aside and
resolve their current differences for the good of the party and the
nation.
The APC
Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun had earlier told the gathering that
President Buhari opted to attend the NEC meeting at the APC Secretariat,
rather than host the parley at the Banquet Hall of the State House
because he wanted to raise the spirit of party members with his presence
at the secretariat.
Chief
Odigie-Oyegun added that the party had focused its change agenda around
President Buhari's person during the campaign "because of his reputation
and integrity."
"Your
charisma and cult-like following facilitated what can be called a
landslide victory at the Presidential election," he told the President.
