The National Caretaker Committee of the party has said the ruling party has commenced reconciliatory visits to aggrieved and critical stakeholders of the party.
A member of the committee, Senator Abubakar Yusuf, who gave an update on the work of the committee since its inauguration last month, also expressed optimism that despite the crisis rocking the party in both Edo and Ondo States, its candidates will win the governorship polls in the two states.
He stated that the National Caretaker Committee is making progress in achieving the unity among the various groups in the party.
This, according to him, is being achieved through physical visitation to national stakeholders and telephone conversations with others.
He said: “We have extended our hands of fellowship to every member of APC and work as a family for the progress and stability of the party. I’m not aware that any dissenting voice has gone to court.
We have all agreed, as directed by the president, that we should have all our cases withdrawn from the court and then move for full-blown reconciliation.
“Our team had met with [Senator] Ahmed Tinubu and you have all heard what he said. As far as he’s concerned, there is no division in the party. It is democracy, there must be someone or two, who will say he or she doesn’t feel happy the way he is treated or the way the party is being managed, which the committee is ready to pacify.”
The senator, however, said the committee was facing some challenges over its peace mission but was sure of overcoming them.
“When you are dealing with a challenging issue in the house, you will not say you have overcome them. We are in the process of overcoming those challenges. We are in the process of talking to everybody that we know is very important.
“Secondly, we are not saying that the road ahead is not going to be as easy as we thought. It is a road that we will work so hard to overcome. All the caucuses are working together to make sure that the party retains or brings back the glory it has lost over time.
We lost about seven states in the last general election and we will work to get them back and even add more in the spirit of togetherness,” he stated.
