President Muhammadu Buhari has bared his minds on the lingering internal crisis in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) saying history will not be fair on them if the party is allowed to collapse after his tenure in 2023.
Buhari said,
“History will not be fair on us, quite frankly, if APC collapses at the end of this term. History will be fair to us if APC remains strong at the centre rather than playing games.

“Everyone must work hard, contribute resources physically, materially, and more to ensure we maintain the leadership politically of this system. This is what we should all aim at and make sure at our various constituencies.

He admonished the people to elect only responsible and respected people into the wards and local government executives of the party to avert division or break up of the party.
President Buhari said it is only by electing responsible persons at the state level of the party that the APC can be sustained beyond 2023.
“If for any other reason you divide the party at your constituencies to cause failure, history will not forgive you,” he said.
He commended the speedy consideration of the 2020 budget by the National Assembly. He said his government would ensure it maintains the cordial relationship with the lawmakers.

“I have tried several times to make Nigerians understand that the 16 years of PDP helped the country to create Nigerian elites through the oil boom which are not commensurate with infrastructural developments in the country.
“Look at the roads. The railway was killed and you know there is no power (electricity). If the infrastructure is good, a lot of Nigerians would mind their businesses because Nigerians are competitive.

“I want you to accept that you are now in charge. I am the president but the APC is in charge. We worked very hard to where we are and I want you all to continue to work as a body.”
He said all those who left the party will come back. The president said he does not need to threaten anybody with police because he went through due process himself to get elected.
“We will work honestly through the system to ensure we produce the best that will win in the 2023 elections,” President Buhari established.
The NEC meeting also had in attendance Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, ministers, state governors, including Bayelsa State governor-elect, David Lyon; and state chairmen of the party.
