The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has explained that the party was committed to reconciling all aggrieved members of the party, but only those interested in reconciliation.
In an interview with Daily Trust newspapers, the former governor of Nasarawa state also said the party was united behind its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his choice of running mate.
“Everything has time, including the time to come to the world and the time to leave and go to the unknown. In the same way, there is a season for what we are seeing. Once there is a primary, some people are bound to feel offended, maybe because they didn’t get what they wanted. That is natural. That is one of the reasons the issue of reconciliation is a continuous process.
“Sometimes we talk of God and believe in him as Muslims or Christians, but sometimes, in the end, we don’t accept what he has done, unfortunately. It behoves on the leadership to continue not to be tired of making efforts to reconcile those who may have been offended. But like I said, we can only reconcile the reconcilable.”
On President’s nephew leaving the ruling party, the APC national chairman said it was not a big issue as siblings don’t need to belong to the same political party.
“Sometimes you people in the media give these things a kind of credence they don’t deserve. Before becoming the chairman of the party. I had seen a lot in my career as a politician in this country. I have seen two brothers of same father and mother going into two parties. It is nothing new. If this guy felt the best for him if he didn’t get his own way is to rebel and go some other way, good luck to him. You can’t force him.”
