The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Adams Oshiomhole says the leadership of the party has resolved to ignore members of the Reformed-APC (R-APC) rather than be bothered by any of their actions.
Oshiomhole stated this on Friday in Abuja when chairmen of the defunct Congress for Progressives Congress (CPC) paid him a visit at the party`s national secretaria. He added that the party`s leadership would only attend to members with genuine grievances.
On Wednesday, some members of the party, comprising members of the defunct nPDP and some other APC members and led by the former National Secretary of the defunct CPC, Alhaji Buba Galadima pulled out to form the parallel R-APC.
The faction alleged that the constitution of the ruling party was eroded during the party’s recent state and ward congresses as well as its National Convention which they said were not transparent.
“We listened to Buba Galadima. It is as if a very hungry bird is dancing at the centre of the road and a disgruntled drummer not far away in the bush is drumming for him.
“But this is not to say that we are not aware that there are challenges here and there, but anything about APC is considered more, much more than the sum total of all the challenges we have in many of the states.
“And by the special grace of God, we shall overcome them and we are already overcoming them, I am very confident that we can afford to ignore Buba Galadima,” Oshiomhole said.
While reiterating his readiness to go to any length to talk to people who meant well and had genuine grievances against the party, Oshiomhole noted that such grievances may have arisen from communication gaps or misunderstanding or even from error of judgment on the part of any member of the party.
He added: “Protests like these are acknowledged and we are working to resolve them, when we see people who have genuine grievances, we are not ashamed to talk to them.
“We recognize that democracy is an equalizer and only people who are humble enough to engage can survive and we have been engaging.
