– President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ordered APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to solve the crisis in the party
– The party was plunged into a deep crisis after it held its recently concluded controversial primaries
A source close to the Presidential Villa has reportedly claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari is embarrassed and worried by the ongoing crisis in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and has ordered party’s national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to fix it.
The source, according to a report by Vanguard, claimed that the president instructed the national chairman to ensure that all the controversies surrounding the governorship and state assemblies’ primary elections “must be resolved this week.”
The source said: “The president appears to be embarrassed and concerned by the continued controversy, which keeps mounting by the day.
“Even the latest embarrassment came on Sunday with the reported exit from the party of one of the President’s staunch loyalists, Senator Shehu Sani.
“You have the vexed issue of Zamfara and Adamawa. Then you have the spectacle in Ogun state. Yes, the national chairman is insisting on doing what he claims to be the right thing, but in some of the cases in question, even the president is not too comfortable with the handling of the matter because some of the governors have made a very strong case on the impropriety of some of the decisions.
“The president has told him to clear the mess this week because the distraction the controversy continues to ignite does not bode well for the polity, presidency, the party and even the well-being of members.”
