Adamawa: Ribadu Intervenes In APC Crisis, Forms Reconciliation Committee

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State yesterday said the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has intervened in the crisis of confidence rocking the party in the state.

The party therefore said it has formed an eight-man committee to reconcile members and strengthen the party’s unity in Adamawa State.

The APC national vice chairman (North East), Mustapha Salihu, disclosed this during a unity meeting of the party in Yola, the state capital, a statement by the party said yesterday.

Recall that some Adamawa APC stakeholders had over the weekend called on President Bola Tinubu and the party’s national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, to save the party from further decline after suffering defeats in two governorship elections.

However, Salihu, in the statement signed by the state publicity secretary, Mohammed Abdullahi, formally announced the formation of the reconciliation committee, with Senator Muhammed Mana as chairman.
