The Governor of Niger state, Sani Bello who also dubbed as National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), revalidation and registration Committee has stated that the party is resolving the crisis arising from the revalidation and registration exercise across the states.
Bello briefing journalist after stakeholders meeting held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja noted that the issues affecting the Delta state APC is being resolved and all members are enjoined to go back home and build on the successes.
According to him: ” The registration is going on well. I was in Ogun. I have been receiving reports from other zones. And, the major complaints is that the 100 forms per units is too small. But, I have made complain to the national headquarters and more materials will be provided for the local governments or units that need more materials.
” So, basically nobody will be left behind for any struggle or any problem. Even after two weeks when we are done, we will continue It.”
He said efforts are being made to address the issues in Delta state which had the stakeholders in attendance adding that is is a common challenge that the party is doing everything to resolve:
” It is not unusual in a political process that you have differences, opinions and what have you. So, Delta state is a very important state for us in south south. And we have been able to agree on a workable methods to move the party forward.
So I hope that going forward we wont have to come here from Delta state. They should be able to resolve their issues back home.
” I believe APC in Delta state is intact. I also believed APC there in Delta state will grow bigger. So I will like to appreciate and thank the stakeholders from Delta state for their contributions to this meeting. We had a very fruitful meeting and by God’s grace i think the issues have been resolved once and for all.
“We didn’t go to the leadership of the state. Everyone is a leader in his own right. Leadership position to me, everyone is a leader. So what is important is the rally around one aggrieved person which is the state party Chairman as the central point to achieve our objective”, he noted.
The Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo in his reaction over letter he purportedly wrote to the National leadership of the party said only through equity can the issues be resolved.
” Well that is why we are here. It was that letter that ignited this meeting and all we fight for is equity for all not advantage to even me at all. What we are fighting for is equity and justice for all not advantage to anybody not even me as minister. And that is why we came here in the first place.
” It was my complaint that ignited this process and then we are all brothers. We are all United at once. We all spoke about our problems and the National Chairman of the revalidation committee in the country the governor of Niger state has just addressed you and then he has just told you that we have looked at the problems. We have recrafted the process for Delta State going forward and I think everybody will be happy with it”, he said.
