With the recent crisis which led to the suspension and alleged reinstatement of Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) has denied that the party is factionalised or in the nature of crisis being repeatedly reported in a section of the media.
Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, the National Publicity Secretary of the party in a statement on Monday, said a political organisation such as the APC, contestations are not unusual and are not necessarily intractable.
According to him, the issues being alluded to in the media reports are matters before the courts and should be allowed to run their normal and legal course.
The exaggerated story foreboding Armageddon is far-fetched, he added.
He said: “We call on members of the National Working Committee (NWC) and the Party’s secretariat staff to resume at their offices and continue carrying out their scheduled roles and responsibilities without any fear.
“Finally, we thank the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, personnel of the Police, Department of State Services and other Security Services for their professionalism in the process of maintaining the peace and preventing hoodlums from fomenting trouble at the APC National Secretariat.
“We assure all our members in Nigeria and across the world that our leaders are capable of resolving any contestations that may arise bearing in mind the best interests of our great party and in the pursuit of progress and development of our country.”
