The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, has called on the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to establish reconciliation committees to unite party members nationwide.
Speaking at the APC stakeholders’ meeting for the Northwest in Kaduna, the Speaker emphasized the need to reconcile and make peace with aggrieved members, as the party faces internal conflicts in various states.
The Speaker urged Ganduje to constitute reconciliation committees for each state and zone to bring peace and unity to the party, stressing that elections are over, and it’s time for governance.
He also suggested that APC members who perform well should be given the opportunity to return in 2027, citing the high turnover rate of National Assembly members.
Additionally, the Speaker commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for giving key positions to the Northwest and called on party leaders to support the party structures at all times, not just during elections.
He also mentioned the ongoing constitution amendment by the National Assembly, highlighting areas like state police, local government autonomy, women’s inclusion, and traditional institutions’ roles.
