Adams Oshiomhole took charge of the All Progressives Congress, APC on Tuesday at a meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC of the party waving an olive branch to fellow officers he had offended in the course of his leadership.

The deputy national chairman, North, Senator Lawali Shuaibu and the National Vice Chairman, Northwest, Barrister Inuwa Abdulkadir had the suspension on them lifted just as the acting national secretary of the party, Barrister Victor Giadom and others displeased with Oshiomhole lined up behind him.

As a token of peace, it was resolved that all court cases would be withdrawn.

The meeting of the NWC was attended by Senator Abiola Ajimobi who has been appointed as the deputy national chairman, South.

Speaking after the meeting, Oshiomhole said:

“People had issues which they felt strongly about, and as a result, the NWC took some decisions which affected my friend and brother, Sen. Lawal Shuaibu, Deputy National Chairman, North. The NWC had a reason for suspending him as at then.

“I have asked everyone and they have accepted, whatever they considered to be my own shortcomings, I have asked for forgiveness and they have forgiven

“Today, we have reviewed the situation and we believe that in the spirit of our renewed commitment to building unity and true reconciliation, we as leaders of the party elected at the convention should live by example.

“And that means for those we think have offended the system, we have chosen to lift their suspensions. Sen. Lawal Shuaibu can resume his duties as Deputy National Chairman, North.

“We also reviewed the matter of Inuwa Abdulkadir, National Vice Chairman Northwest. By the same spirit, the NWC was unanimous in lifting the suspension and he resumes work with immediate effect. So, with these two decisions, the two members of the NWC who were suspended, their suspensions have now been lifted”, he said.

While pleading for forgiveness from those he had offended, he said:

“I have asked everyone and they have accepted, whatever they considered to be my own shortcomings, I have asked for forgiveness and they have forgiven and whatever I considered to be anyone’s shortcoming that irritated me, I have also forgiven. This is the way it should be. It can only be abnormal if people know how to fight and they do not know how to settle”, he added.

Among those who attended the meeting were the acting National Secretary, Chief Victor Giadom; National Vice Chairman South West, Pst. Bankole Oluwajana; National Vice Chairman, North East, Comrade Mustapha Salihu; National Vice Chairman, Northwest, Inuwa Abdulkadir.
