APC begins fence mending efforts in Adamawa 

The reconciliation committee constituted by Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje led National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to reconcile aggrieved party members and stakeholders has stormed Adamawa state to begin effort to uniting the party ahead of 2027.

Addressing party chieftains and other stakeholders at the party secretariat in Yola Monday, the chairman of the reconciliation committee who was also the former military governor of Plateau state, Senator Mohammed Mana, said the party national leadership and other stakeholders were seriously disturbed with internal wranglings and divisions rocking the party in the state.

He said the situation prompted the decision to set up the committee to meet with all stakeholders and reconcile the party. 

He reiterated the commitment of the party to reunite the party in the state, stressing that their mission was to reconcile the party to enable it regain its lost glory.

He assured that they would be fair, honest, just and urged all aggrieved members to feel free to express their grievances for necessary actions and total reconciliation. 

Mana further noted that APC was a grassroots party to beat in Adamawa which enabled them to produce the gubernatorial, National Assembly and other elective positions but due to internal divisions, the party lost the state in 2019 and 2023 elections.

He, therefore, emphasised the need for all to sheathe their swords by putting the collective interest of the party in their hands and work together to retake over the state in 2027.

According to him, the party and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu held the state in high esteem which was why the President appointed so many Adamawa sons and daughters into strategic positions in his government.

Earlier, the Adamawa state APC Chairman, Barrister Idris Shuaibu, welcomed the reconciliation committee and lauded the effort of the party’s national leadership to reconcile the party in the state.

He expressed optimism in the capacity of the committee to reconcile the party in the state going by the calibre of people in the committee and their track records. 

He, therefore, urged all aggrieved members to give maximum cooperation to the committee to enable them succeed in their assignments.
