The All Progressive Congress (APC) Governors and members of the National working committee of the party have broker peace amongst the warring factions of the Delta State Chapter of the APC.
This was the outcome of a meeting chaired by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma and other notable figures, including APC National Chairman Dr. Umar Ganduje, Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, Cross River State Governor Bassey Otu, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and several members of the APC National Working Committee (NWC), including National Publicity Secretary Barr. Felix Morka which took place at the Imo State Governors Lodges in Abuja.
Governor Uzodinma emphasized the need for unity within the party, urging leaders to present a cohesive front to prevent any perception of division that could be exploited. He clarified that the gathering was not intended for debate, and Delta State leaders were instructed not to counter one another’s remarks during the meeting.
Echoing Uzodinma’s position, National Chairman Ganduje highlighted the importance of internal cohesion, noting that seamless integration would encourage more PDP governors and leaders to defect to the APC. He added that discussions on power-sharing arrangements would follow the formal reception of Governor Oborevwori.
