APC Official Urges Buhari to Intervene in Party Crisis
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Ahmed Joda, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the crisis rocking the party.
Joda, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, made the call in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said the crisis in the party was affecting the government's ability to deliver on its campaign promises and urged the President to take steps to resolve the issues.
"The President is the leader of the party and he has a responsibility to ensure that the party is united and strong," Joda said.
He also urged the party's National Working Committee (NWC) to take steps to resolve the crisis, saying that the party's constitution provides for the resolution of disputes through dialogue and negotiation.
Joda's call comes as the APC is embroiled in a crisis over the leadership of the party's National Assembly caucus, with some members calling for the removal of the party's leadership in the Senate and House of Representatives.
The crisis has led to a split in the party, with some members supporting the current leadership and others calling for a change.
The APC has been plagued by internal crises since its inception in 2013, with the latest being the crisis over the leadership of the party's National Assembly caucus.
The party's National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has been at the center of the crisis, with some members calling for his removal over allegations of corruption and abuse of office.
The crisis has also led to a split in the party, with some members defecting to other parties or forming new ones.
Joda's call for the President to intervene in the crisis is seen as a move to resolve the issues and restore peace to the party.
The APC is the ruling party in Nigeria and has been in power since 2015.
