BEVERLY HILLS, February 06, (THEWILL)
– President Muhammadu Buhari has designated Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) with the responsibility of reconciling all aggrieved members of the party across the country.
This was disclosed in a two-paragraph statement, made available to journalists on Tuesday, by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
It reads: “As part of ongoing efforts to improve cohesion within the All Progressives Congress, President Muhammadu Buhari has designated Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to lead the consultation, reconciliation and confidence building efforts.
“The assignment will involve resolving disagreements among party members, party leadership and political office holders in some states of the Federation.”
THEWILL recalls that there are brewing disagreements in the party especially among the APC leaders and political office holders in Kano, Oyo, Rivers, Kogi, Kaduna, Zamfara and Osun States among others.
In Kano, for example, the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and his predecessor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, are enmeshed in a war of supremacy leading to the cancellation of Kwankwaso’s visit to Kano.
In Oyo State, there is a friction between the state Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, and the Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu while the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, and Senator Magnus Abe are at loggerheads in Rivers state.
In Osun State, Governor Rauf Aregbesola and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yusuf Lasun, are also not in good terms same as Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, and Senator Shehu Sani.
It is a similar situation in Kogi State where the state Governor, Yahaya Bello, is at loggerheads with Senator Dino Melaye and in Zamfara state between Governor Abdulaziz Yari and Senator Kabir Marafa
