Buhari Speaks On Secret Power Shift Pact With Tinubu

Muhammadu Buhari for the first time on Tuesday gave credence of the secret powershift agreement among leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC for power to shift to the South in 2023 saying that the agreement must be respected.

President Buhari spoke at the commencement of the National Executive Committee, NEC of the APC inside the Federal Executive Council, FEC chambers.

The power shift agreement was believed to have been entered between Buhari and some other leaders of the merger parties with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who led the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN among others.

He also asked party members to respect all party decisions.

Apparently in respect of that it was resolved at the end of the meeting to expel Hillard Eta, the former National Vice Chairman, South-South of the party who recently took the party to court to launch a comeback bid.

While asking party members to make sacrifices for the collective good of the party and the need to keep the secret power shift agreement reached before the formation of the party, the president said:

“I want to appeal to all our party members and leaders at all levels, to try and make the required sacrifices so that we are able to collectively restore our progressive and democratic political party, which can nurture and give expression to our collective dream of building a strong, united and developed Nigeria.

“May I use this opportunity to remind all of us of the need to recreate our negotiation secret of 2012, 2013 under our legacy parties. What guided our success to achieve the merger that produced the APC was the respect we were able to have for each other.

”In those times, decisions reached at both formal and informal consultations were respected with trusted initiatives taken and believed that they were needed to produce the required political platform that could guarantee electoral victory.

“Everyone of us as leaders ensured that those decisions were respected. I have through consultations of the caretaker committee and other leaders of the party, agree that our challenges in the party require that we take steps to rebuild the party from wards to national levels.

“The initiative to carry out membership registration revalidation is, therefore, a necessary, membership registration revalidation will lay the foundation for reorganizing our membership from ward to local government m, state and national levels.

“The responsibility of our party’s NEC at this meeting is to adopt and dispassionately consider all proposals submitted by the caretaker committee and grant all the necessary approvals requested to rebuild the party.”
