Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has called on the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, to address the turnover of National Assembly members and allow members with performance to return in 2027. Speaking at a meeting of APC stakeholders in the North West Zone, in Kaduna on Sunday, 19 May, Abbas urged Ganduje to set up reconciliation committees to unite party members across the country.
Discussing the state of the party, the speaker said, “I want to call on the National Chairman and our party executives to ensure peaceful coexistence among all party members. As previous speakers have said, we are bedevilled with many issues in different states, and every local government. It is time to draw a line. Elections are over; this is time for governance…We should forget what has happened. Let’s forgive one another, let’s embrace one another. I want to suggest to the National Chairman, and by extension the National Vice Chairman, too, as a matter of urgency, constitute reconciliation committees for the zone and for every state to constitute the same reconciliation committees so that we can make peace and bring those that we may have offended back to the party.”
Abbas also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing people from the northwest zone into some key positions, stressing that the zone should appreciate him by redoubling its efforts in 2027.
