Oshiomhole recalls how Saraki, nPDP caused APC victory in 2015, reveals how he’ll reconcile aggrieved members

Newly-elected national chairman of the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has revealed how he will
resolve the crisis rocking the party.


The former Edo State governor, who spoke immediately after he was
sworn in at the Eagles Square, Abuja, promised to accommodate various
views and work with different organs of the party to re-position it
ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Oshiomhole said unlike the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, which, according to him, emptied the national treasury, the
APC-led government has remained faithful to Nigeria and Nigerians.


He said, "This evening (yesterday), there were winners and losers. But
we have congratulated ourselves. We must all work for the good of the
party.

"As president, Muhammadu Buhari is the only president who retired as a
military head of state and was not a millionaire. The only thing he
invested was your integrity.

"Unlike the last government which emptied our national treasury, under
your watch, that had not happened.


He also recalled how the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, gave the APC
victory in 2015.
He continued, "Saraki and Tambuwal-led other members of PDP to join
our party. That move was what gave us victory in 2015. We are not
forgetful of that.
"I am aware that there are challenges here and there. The new leaders
elected will be able to surmount those challenges. We will find a way
to look for a way to resolve these issues. In states where there are
crises, we will find a win-win solution.

"I am used to solving challenges. We will organise summits where we
will discuss on the way forward. We have the grace and the will to fix
our problems. APC will not only be a platform to elect people. We will
make it like the ANC (African National Congress in South Africa.)

"We are ready to accommodate all the complaints of every member of the
party. We can only pay back by ensuring that we rebuild our party as
we march towards the 2019 general elections."

He said he would resume work on Monday and swing into action to ensure
that everything is in place.
