FLASH:COMMUNIQUÉ ISSUED AT THE END OF MEETING OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CANDIDATES held in Abuja on the 28th day of February, 2018
signed the following on behalf of their group.
*********************
WHO WE ARE:
Ours is a body comprising of all 146 candidates of the All
Progressive Congress to the March 28,2015 House Of Representatives
election who did not win at the polls. We have since galvanized
ourselves into a political structure to advance the fortunes of our
great party.
BACKGROUND:
We have followed with keen interest all the political intrigues and
scheming that have characterized the political landscape of our great
party the APC and indeed our nation over the last three years. We have
watched front-line gladiators to the March 28,2015 battle to effect
CHANGE relegated to the back side and left to wallow in obscurity,
while new entrants into the party have been imported by some
privileged member of our party and the government to hijack the spoils
of the battle we fought. Despite our gargantuan contribution to the
success of the APC during the march 28,2015 elections many of our
members have remained without government patronage by way of
appointments. Government and governance has been hijacked by the
powerful and privileged. We are clearly aggrieved and dissatisfied by
the glaring insensitivity of those we trusted with the political fate
and future of members of this forum and our teaming supporters.
THE FORUM SPEAKS UP
1. The Forum Salutes President Muhammadu Buhari for his foresight and
Wisdom in Appointing the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Reconciliation
Committee.
2. The Forum recognises that no Political Party can successfully go
into an election with aggrieved members, cracks, disagreements among
the stakeholders within its ranks and members.
3. That the appointment of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Reconciliation Committee is timely to bring Peace, succor and Harmony
to the Party ahead of the 2019 General Elections.
4. The Forum believes that the Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu Committee has
the Sagacity and Pedigree to reconcile any/all warring and aggrieved
parties.
5. The Forum hereby advises and encourages all Organs of the Party to
cooperate fully with the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Reconciliation
Committee.
6. The Forum unequivocally calls on all leaders of APC to ensure that
the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Reconciliation Committee succeeds in
this very important National Party assignment.
7. The Forum further implores all leaders and Stakeholders to ensure
that the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Reconciliation Committee is
given the necessary and enabling environment to succeed in its
assignment of reconciling all aggrieved to sections of our great party
otherwise the party may be left for doom.
8. The forum recognizes the need for tenure extension pending
reconciliation of aggrieved sections of the party. Tenure extension
and reconciliation will buy time for the party to navigate and
eventually veer away from all or any impending disaster.
9. Finally, as concerned parties we urge the relevant organs of our
great party to cautiously approach the issue of tenure extension
without leaving a lacunae for the opposition to feast on.
10. Tenure extension must be applied democratically and in conformity
with the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria and in strict
compliance with the express provisions of the constitution of our
great party the All Progressives Congress.
We shall remain committed to our great party.
Long Federal Republic of Nigeria
Long live our dear President Mohammed Buhari....
Up shall we go as a party.
