Congresses: APC Reconciliation Panel Receives 35 Petitions

The Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led nine-member National Reconciliation Committee of the All Progressives Congress has, so far, received 35 petitions from aggrieved members over the last Ward, Local Government and State Congresses.
The Chairman of the committee disclosed this after a meeting in Abuja, on Tuesday.
He expressed hope that the committee would do justice to all the petitions and unite the party ahead of the party’s National Convention scheduled to hold in February 2022.
He said, “At this point in time, we have something in the region of plus or minus 35 petitions. As you do know, you may wish to ponder on the fact that the petitions cannot have the same weight.
“So, where we believe that the problems are deep-rooted, we intend to go and unravel what the problems are, and how best we can proffer solutions to them and make recommendations to the party.”
Although he was silent on the state by state breakdown of the petitions, he explained that the committee had analysed the petitions and was developing a timeline for meeting the petitioners to take verbal testimonies to arrive at a conclusion.
Adamu said, “And one of the key activities we lined up was to give every person who is involved with any petition as a stakeholder in the party, an opportunity to be heard and have a fair hearing.
