The governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have expressed optimism that President Muhamadu Buhari would take steps to resolve the current leadership crisis in the party.

The Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, briefed State House reporters, in company of Governors Simon Lalong and Abubakar Badaru of Plateau and Jigawa States respectively, after a meeting with President Buhari.

Bagudu said the governors met the President to discuss party issues and their position to support peaceful resolution of the crisis in the ruling party.

He said the President listened “attentively” to them and gave an assurance that solutions would soon be found to all contentious issues.

On the protest at the APC National Secretariat on Monday, the governor said they were expressing their views as guaranteed under democratic government.He, however, said that everybody would be taken on board to arrive at a conclusion over the current crisis.

President Buhari had held a closed-door meeting with governors of the party in the State House, Abuja earlier on Monday.

Daily Trust gathered that some of those at the meeting were; the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) and Governor of Kebbi state, Atiku Bagudu; Chairman of Northern Governors Forum, Simon Lalong and Governor of Jigawa state, Abubakar Badaru.

The meeting came after Sunday evening’s meeting between Buhari and Senate President-Ahmed Lawan.
Lawan had hinted that the president would lead a push for settlement of the crisis within the APC.

The ruling party is currently going through some crises with its national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, still under suspension.

Also, the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has left the ruling party after being disqualified to contest for the party’s primary holding in Benin today, 22 June, 2020.

Scores of protesters besieged the APC National Secretariat on Monday morning, calling for the sack of the entire National Working Committee (NWC).The protesters, led by Okpokwu Ogenyi, called for a meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.

We know that the Kebbi gov is in the anti Oshomole camp just look at his response to the protest at the parties secretariat...

The other camp will come and speak their own grammar on top shocked buharis head

MadeInTokyo:


They are giving support also to Giadom


Oshiomole is fighting a lost battle, the APC governors will permanently takeover the affairs of APC in the coming weeks.

I told some ignorant clowns o this thread last two weeks, Oshiomole will not get any federal backing or cash to rig Edo elections, the buhari cabals and APC governors who want to cut Oshiomole and Tinubu to size, will play anti party in Edo election. Several of Oshiomole's loyalists will be picked and arrested in the coming weeks before the Edo elections, the security operatives will allow Obaseki camp to do whatever they like on the day of the elections irrespective they are in PDP.
PDP and APC governors will be together Edo state Govnermnet lodge on the day of elections , coordinating support and cash for Obaseki's victory


Their aim is to take Oshiomole and Tinubu out of the picture

MadeInTokyo:


Nah , those still backing Oshiomole, will dump him, they are all trying to secure their political future for 2023

An Ex Governor will be the new APC chairman, by the time a convention is held. Oshiomole has done his bid, his time as APC chairman is up, and his closeness to Tinubu, is what the Buhari cabals and several Northern Govenors are not happy with, even his former close ally like El Rufai is at forefront of the removal of Oshiomole as chairman

They are three type of people in your life when you are facing crisis. Those for, those against and those that are Indifferent. Some times the last one are more.
