“It is sad that the APC has majority in the National Assembly, yet they are always at loggerheads with the executive. The crisis became worst with the recent congresses conducted by our party since then there has been a threat of people dumping the party thereby reinvigorating the PDP that has been demystified by the popularity of our party," the statement by the group noted.
“And as it seems today, Oshiomhole is going to emerge as national chairman of the party, we are appealing that he deploys his skills and negotiating powers as a labour leader to find solution to this problem."
