Chairmen of the state chapters of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Wednesday said they were in support of the decision by President Muhammadu Buhari and the national chairman of the party, Chief John Oyegun to accept the outcome of the national assembly leadership election.
Under the auspices of the Forum of APC States chairmen with Oyegun yesterday in Abuja, the chairmen said that while the national assembly turn of events was disappointing, they were happy that the APC’s leaders accepted the outcome of the election that brought Senator Bukola Saraki and Rep. Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively.
In a communique issued and signed by the chairman of the Kano State APC and Acting Chairman of the Forum, Umar Mohammed at the end of their meeting which reviewed the 2015 general elections, the chairmen said we “totally aligned ourselves with the President’s position regarding the leadership of the National Assembly.”
They said: “Chairman, we acknowledge the enormity of the responsibilities placed on the office of the chairman and as such we urge you to brace up and be alive to the challenges so as to move the party forward.
“You should always see us as partners in progress and your foot soldiers as we pray for more success in future.”
The visiting chairmen, however, appealed to Oyegun to release funds for them to effectively run the affairs of the party.
