Saraki pledges allegiance to APC as 25 state party chairmen visit him

       25 states chairmen of the APC on Friday met with Senate President Bukola Saraki in his office. They were led by the Chairman of the Kano State chapter of the party, Alhaji Haruna Doguwa. Although details of the meting were not known, reports say it was aimed at reconciling aggrieved members following the crisis that has rocked the party over the national assembly leadership positions. Doguwa, however, said they visited Saraki to congratulate him and other principal officers on their elections. Saraki commended the chairmen for their understanding of the current development in the APC. He also pledged to uphold the party’s supremacy in all his actions. Saraki said, “Let me assure all of you that I am committed to providing the necessary leadership and commitment to our party in order to ensure the success of the President Buhari’s administration because we have no choice than to succeed.” However, chairmen of the APC from the South-West geopolitical zone were absent at the meeting. In a related development, the Senate President has assured that the 8th Senate is committed to the success of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC. Saraki reaffirmed the commitment when the APC chairmen from all the states visited him in Abuja. “I want to use this opportunity to assure you of our cooperation with the executive led by President Muhammadu Buhari, with the party and its members across the country. I want to reassure you that all of us, APC senators, are committed to ensuring that the party is successful so that we can continue to win elections for many years after because of the foundation we are laying. “It is now our responsibility to pay back so that Nigerians could sit back and say that our efforts were not in vain and that those we elected made this party proud and made this country great,” Saraki was quoted as saying in a statement by his media aide Yusuph Olaniyonu
