The Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, on Monday joined other top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the inaugural meeting of the party’s Committee on Strategy, Conflict Resolution and Mobilisation, established to address internal disputes and emerging challenges within the party.
The committee is chaired by the Governor of Yobe State, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, CON, and includes Governors AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara), Hope Uzodimma (Imo), Hyacinth Alia (Benue), Uba Sani (Kaduna), Umar Namadi (Jigawa), Bassey Otu (Cross River), Abiodun Oyebanji (Ekiti) and Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta).
Other members are Senator Adamu Aliero; the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola; the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle; former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello; the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Political Affairs, Alhaji Ibrahim Masari; and Muiz Banire (SAN), who serves as Secretary of the committee.
At the committee’s inauguration last December, Governor Buni said it would adopt strategic engagements and wide consultations to deliver inclusive and lasting solutions that would give both old and new members, especially those who are aggrieved, a renewed sense of belonging.
He added that the committee would also take proactive steps to address potential threats to party unity, urging members not to allow personal interests or sentiments to override the collective interest of the APC.
