Amidst the media war between certain chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), deputy national publicity secretary of the party, Yekeen Nabena, has called for the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari, pioneer national chairman, Chief Bisi Akande and a national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Deputy national chairman, North of the APC, Senator Shuaibu Lawan has recently accused its national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole for the electoral misfortune the ruling party suffered in certain states in the last general elections.

The immediate past national chairman of the party, Chief Odigie Oyegun and its current chairman, Comrade Oshiomhole have equally been engaged in media diatribe, trading blames over who was responsible for the crisis of confidence rocking the APC.

But speaking with newsmen in Abuja, Nabena appealed to President Buhari to seize the initiative for a troubleshooting move for a serious fence-mending to save the ruling party from the embarrassment which he noted the media war has generated.

He said: “The losses the APC suffered during the 2019 General Election in some states which we previously controlled is indeed worrisome. However, we are still the governing party which produced the President; control majority states and have an overwhelming majority in the National Assembly.

“Compared to the failed Peoples Democratic (PDP), the APC remains the political party of choice for both Nigerians and politicians. I urge our aggrieved members to remain in the APC fold and settle their differences. In fact, in a few months, we expect a huge influx from members of the rudderless PDP and other political parties into the APC.

“Elections have been won and lost. High-level meetings such as National Caucus and the National Executive Committee (NEC) are there to address party matters. I call on our respected leaders, particularly the current and immediate-past National Chairmen to end their public hostilities, particularly in the media for the sake of the party and focus on the important task of forming government at the state and federal levels to deliver on our Next Level mandate. We need a united house to ensure the growth and strength of our party.

“In the immediate, I call on President Muhammadu Buhari as the leader of our party to lead fence-mending efforts and address obvious grievances in many states and among stakeholders in the party.”
