A former North-west chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) and a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Ahmadu Dan Zago, has raised an alarm over series of crisis rocking the party, even as he called on the leadership of the party to quickly resolve the problem if party is serious about 2019 general elections.

Dan Zago, who is also a serving Special Adviser on Food Security to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano, urged the party not to forget its past in a hurry.
Speaking during an interview with newsmen yesterday in Abuja, the APC stalwart reminded the party leaders that they should not a hurry that the party took power from an incumbent party (PDP).
He also urged President Muhammadu Buhari, who he described as the “most supported president in Africa,” to put in more effort and remain the masses’ hero.
“It is important that they must put more effort and make sure that all these crises in the APC are tackled quickly. You must go house to house and settle all the aggrieved members of the APC.
“We should remember that we took the government from an incumbent and because we are now the incumbent, we should not be in a hurry to forget about the past. The other party refused to settle their differences and that led to their loss and disagreements,” he said.
