Youths of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the South-South region have demanded that the immediate past governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, put to use his power of negotiation in reconciling warring members of the party.
Oshiomhole is currently leading in the race of who becomes the next national chairman of the party having been assured of the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Bisi Akande and state governors.
In a statement signed by the zonal coordinator of the South South youths under the aegis of Concern APC Youths in the South-South, Ibie Obarakpor and Tony Adun, expressed concern over the face-off between the National Assembly members and the presidency.
They said, “It is sad that the APC has majority in the National Assembly, yet they are always at loggerheads with the executive.
“The crisis became worst with the recent congresses conducted by our party since then there has been a threat of people dumping the party thereby reinvigorating the PDP that has been demystified by the popularity of our party.
“And as it seems today, Oshiomhole is going to emerge as national chairman of the party; we are appealing that he deploys his skills and negotiating powers as a labour leader to find solution to this problem.”
