Buhari Decries ‘Unnecessary Quarrels’ In APC

By Emmanuel Awosika

President Muhammadu Buhari has decried the tendency of the ruling All Progressives Congress to get embroiled in “bitter, and occasions, totally unnecessary squabbles.”

He said this on Monday during the inauguration of the Executive, Legislative Party Consultative Committee, which held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President lamented that these disputes had caused the party to lose various legislative and gubernatorial elections.

He said, “But we must admit to ourselves that our party has been too often embroiled in bitter, and on occasions, totally unnecessary squabbles, causing us (to lose) seats in the legislative and gubernatorial elections.

“This never should have happened; we are here to make sure such occurrences never happen again.

“We must now ensure regular consultations between the party and the government.

“I am a firm believer in the doctrine of Separation of Powers, which is fundamental to our constitutional democracy, but our practice should be harmonious checks and balances, devoid of bitterness and petty rivalry.”
