At a lecture organized to celebrate Afenifere Leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti’s 97th birthday, the National Vice Chairman of the APC Southwest, Isaac Kekemeke, stated that the party had enough time to reconcile the warring factions before the National Assembly’s inauguration. He also reassured that the opposition wouldn’t take over the National Assembly, and that both the President-elect and the party were working hard to resolve any perceived anger among party members.

The statement came a week after APC endorsed Senator Godwill Akpabio and Tajudeen Abbas as Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker, respectively. However, the endorsement led to other aspirants threatening to boycott the party. In 2015, Bukola Saraki and Hon Yakubu Dogara emerged as winners of the National Assembly’s leadership against the APC’s wishes.
Kekemeke’s statement indicates the party’s commitment to resolving any internal issues before the National Assembly’s inauguration. It also sends a message to party members who may feel aggrieved about the endorsement of Akpabio and Abbas to remain united and work together for the party’s success. Additionally, Kekemeke’s reassurance that the opposition wouldn’t take over the National Assembly provides some level of confidence to APC supporters who may be concerned about the party’s ability to maintain control of the legislature.

In a democratic setting, political parties must work towards resolving internal issues to present a united front and maintain their grip on power. With the APC’s recent endorsement of Akpabio and Abbas, it’s essential that the party leadership addresses the concerns of other aspirants who may feel left out. As the National Assembly’s inauguration approaches, the APC must do everything within its power to ensure that its members remain united and focused on the party’s goals. This way, the party can maintain its dominance in the legislature and effectively govern the country.
