The reconciliation Committee set up by the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Enugu to help seek for a lasting solution to the crisis rocking the party in the state has commenced work in earnest.
The committee while briefing newsmen at their South East regional office on Wednesday after their inaugural meeting, appealed to all aggrieved members of the party to withdraw all pending cases in court as their issues will be given due attention by the committee.
JOURNALIST101 recalls that the party hasn’t recovered from the Congresses held in 2021. After the Congress, the party was divided into over two factions after the elective congresses from the Wards to the State level.
But the committee which was set up to address these concerns assured their members to give peace a chance and withdraw their cases as all issues for which they went to see redress will be addressed.
The committee in a communique issued after their meeting also called for an end to all media attacks by both the leaders and the led, ssif that they must be a united party to be able to win in the forthcoming elections.
In the communique signed by the committee chairman, Mr. Eva Asadu and Secretary, Chief Felix Okafor, they resolved that “all media attacks by leaders at all levels and the led should stop forthwith, whether in print, electronic, social media platforms or any other means whatsoever,” appealing that members should rather adhere strictly to the generic ethics of promoting unity and growth of the Party and not the other way round.
“The Committee appeals to all APC, especially the aggrieved members and leaders to come together and join in building a strong United Party that shall win 2023 Presidential, Governorship, National and State Assembly elections in Enugu State in particular and in Nigeria in general.
“We are also appealing to APC leaders to embrace reconciliation and at the same time reach out to their faithful followers on the need for reconciliation of all APC
members.
“That APC Enugu State congresses and all litigations arising there from be withdrawn by the litigants, as all the issues canvassed in their cases shall be addressed.
“That we appeal to members of the Party to be law abiding and also plead with the State Executive Committee to soft pedal on further suspension of members of APC Enugu State in order to help us with speedy reconciliation of all our members.
“APC Enugu State Reconciliation Committee by the Grace of God and with kind cooperation of leaders and members of our great Party will reconcile all APC members and rescue Enugu State from the cabals in the nest called PDP.”
They also appealed to the media to help their reconciliation efforts through their political reportage.
