The National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the reconciliation committee chairman of the APC, Chief Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, admitted that the ruling party has failed to meet the expectations of Nigerians after almost three years in office. He also admitted that the goodwill which it enjoyed during the 2015 general elections and the inauguration of the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration had been squandered.

Tinubu therefore concluded that the APC has a lot of work to do to regain public confidence and solidarity before the 2019 general elections. The former Governor of Lagos State bared his mind on the state of the party on Wednesday in Abuja when he held a closed-door meeting with the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party at its secretariat. The meeting was Tinubu’s first since Buhari appointed him to reconcile all the feuding leaders of the APC in various states of the federation.

In his down to earth assessment of the APC, Tinubu said that the party had faced several challenges since it took over power in 2015, stressing that it needs serious consultations and reconciliation moves to regain the goodwill of Nigerians. He listed some of the challenges confronting the APC as the disorder in the North Central and North East zones, killings and agitations, as well as intra-party squabbles.

Tinubu said that the expectations of Nigerians had been high since the party won the presidential election in 2015, but regretted that the expectations had not been met. In a brief chat with journalists before he went for a close-door meeting with the NWC, the APC leader said that his visit was to consult with the party’s leadership, in line with the mandate given to him by the President, stressing that consultations and reconciliation were required since APC is still the hope of Nigerians for a better future.

In his words;

“I am here to consult, since you are already aware of the directive and announcement of the President who is the leader of our party and the President of this country. “First, let me sympathise with our National Vice Chairman for North Central for the various incidents that are happening around that corridor, and may God bring peace to Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Nasarawa, and the country as a whole, and all other places being affected by the age-old system that we are now facing.

“After the last convention of the party, congresses were held from various wards to elect representatives from the ward, local government and states levels as well as the national level. We worked hard for victory. We have never governed before, but we won the confidence of Nigerians to govern. “We have a creed to really serve the country; change and reform the country. It is not easy to have those changes implemented like instant curfew. We have to grow and face challenges. “I sympathise with us and we should equally look at ourselves. Since we won the election, the expectations were very high and the goodwill was extremely high. But where are we today?

“The solution is to seek opinion and advise on the various complexities around some states or if there is any national one, to reconcile, move the party in a cohesive manner and reposition and build the confidence among ourselves”. “we have to push that. I won’t touch those areas yet,” he said. Earlier, the APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, who described Tinubu as a “Peace Ambassador”, said that his visit was significant as the President moves to heal wounds where the party has any, as well as to bring every member of the APC together under a single objective, which is to give the party a runaway victory in 2019.

You mean the fraud you sold to gullible Nigerians

Discerning Nigerians are waiting to see how you'll package your incompetent dinosaur leader for reelection again.

One chance government.

I pity Tinubu in advance but really don't pity him at the moment. He is not a good student of history as rightly predicted by Dr. Femi Aribisala!

No amount of sweet talk and packaging can stop the impending tsunami that will hit apc. #buharitoDaura2019 irreversible.

No be lie

I beg ask tinubu oh!

Tinubu and Buhari should equally join retirees club, they are all part of the clog in the wheel of Nigeria

APC plus members is equal to drastic failure.


Flash black to 2015, only if we saw back then that this would be the so called change we were promised!

Jagaban has spoken

So why are you then joining your effort to return the failures to power? I see greed n selfishness

2019 would be a shocker!!

You really know the game is up.....




another permutation is very essential.....

Apc is a disaster

I have this feeling that Tinubu will pocket the dollars that will come from this reconciliation,sail away with his boys that are still loyal to him and allow Buhari to drown with APC

selfish old dirty rag, meet Bola Ahmed Tinubu. the man who sold afonja destinies to this modern alimi

Ratello:

Don't mind him.

Instead of getting with the program on how to send Buhari back to Daura he's getting excited like a man who's got his mojo back cos of a reconciliation committee chair.

Tinubu is into politics to make money
He is a pure business man who doesn't care for the common man on the street


But he will be humbled next year
Let him continue chanting sai barber

BMC right now.

Tinubu is no different from other members of our political class. He is as corrupt as the most corrupt of them. They don't care about the masses, all they care about is their selfish interests

...and u contributed 75/ of it...old fool!.

That is a FACT!

Enough talks please, just do the needful.

I still have faith that it will get better.

#CHANGE!
