APC begs defectors to come back as Gemade, others return

APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured all true progressives who left the party over whatever grievance to return and join ongoing efforts to reposition the APC and further achieve our pro-people plans for the country.

APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena in a statement on Sunday said, the return of Barnabas Gemade, a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC is another signpost of the well-received and successful reconciliation efforts being led by Governor Mai-Mala Buni as Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee.

Nabena noted Gemade who was a former Senator representing Benue North-East District in the 7th and 8th Asssemly swells the numbers of recent APC returnees which includes the former Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.

He said the APC Caretaker Committee led by Governor Buni has created a conducive and sincere environment to address many of the grievances among the party ranks and return the party to its progressive and lofty heights.

“It heartwarming that party faithfuls led by President Muhammadu Buhari as leader of the APC have recognised the reconciliation efforts of the Governor Buni-led APC Caretaker and continue to support the Committee.

“We call on our supporters, members and leaders to continue their support for the caretaker committee by coming forward with any issues, grievances, disputations, differences for amicable resolution. The task of keeping the party unified and strong is a collective one”, the APC Spokesman added.
