No Quarrel Between Tinubu And Adamu – APC Governors
The Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) says there is no quarrel between the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate as being speculated by the media.
Gov. Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State and chairman of the forum, said this on Wednesday in Abuja when he spoke with newsmen after a closed-door meeting with the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
GWG.NG reports that the insinuations of a quarrel between Adamu and Tinubu were fueled after a draft letter from the party to Tinubu on the marginalization of the party in his campaign council was leaked to the media last week.
However, countering suggestions of a quarrel between Tinubu and Adamu over the issue, Bagudu following hours long meeting with the national chairman said:
“I am happy that the party is solidly behind our presidential candidate,” in a tone of the cordiality contrary to the narrative of discord.
Bagudu said, however, that efforts were being made to harmonise the membership of the party’s presidential campaign council for more inclusiveness.
He said that the meeting was at the instance of the APC national chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu to discuss strategies for the party’s campaign.
He said thst Adamu briefed the governors on how well the party had been doing, adding that they were very proud of the party and the leadership.
“We are very proud of our party and our leader, President Muhamadu Buhari.
“We are proud of the conventions that produced both our national chairman and our presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and our Vice-Presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima.
“We are also very proud of the actions of our national chairman and the NWC, and the actions of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), ” he said.
Also speaking, Adamu, said the APC leadership was comfortable with arrangements in place by the PCC in a tone that also played down suggestions of quarrel with Tinubu.
“We are very comfortable, we have established machinery for resolving anything. We are together with the governors forum and NWC.
“I believe this meeting we had is more than useful to us, for us, nothing short of victory and that is the spirit of this meeting,” Adamu said.
On when the party would commence the 2023 presidential campaign, Adamu said:”we will determine when we will do that as long as it is within the framework of INEC’s guidelines.”
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that some of the governors at the meeting included those of Kebbi, Kano, Plateau, Niger, Nasarawa, Ondo and Zamfara.
NAN reports that some highly placed party stalwarts were also at the meeting. (NAN)
