APC Party Leaders, Governors and Senators In NEC Meeting To Solve National Assembly Crisis




 President Muhammadu Buhari
Nigeria's 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 the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, and the Speaker of the House of Reps, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, 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 rule because we have won the election and we will eventually win the war,” he said.
