Some Nigerians coming under the auspices of Nigeria Needs Positive Change Group, NNPCG, over the weekend urged an All Progressives Congress, APC, national leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, to toe the exemplary conduct of the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun by publicly accepting the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as the Senate President.
This was as they maintained that Tinubu would by so doing add value to the party and also ensure unity and stability of the APC.
In a statement issued in Ilorin yesterday by its National Coordinator, Alhaji Mas’ud Adebimpe, the group further called on other APC leaders to put the issue of Saraki’s election behind them and face the serious job of governance.
It insisted that the emergence of Saraki and Hon. Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker respectively “indeed symbolizes the positive change mantra of the APC”.
While reminding APC leaders of their promise to effect positive change in the lives of Nigerians through good governance in all facet of life, NNPCG said, “We urge all other honest leaders of APC to as a matter of urgency prevail on all those threatening to bring down our democratic institutions to have a rethink. The party leadership should start in earnest on the fulfillment of all the electioneering campaign promises to the people, rather than wasting precious times on an issue which process had been adjudged credible, transparent and constitutional.
“The NNPCG align in totality with the position of President Muhammadu Buhari on the election of NASS leadership. His readiness to work with whoever was elected and not to interfere in the process was legendary and indeed we did not expect less from a man whose integrity was the main credential flaunted to seek the people’s mandate”.
The group went on to request President Buhari to call the aggrieved APC leaders to order to allow peace to reign in the land and at the National Assembly.
