President Muhammadu Buhari has called on the newly elected Senator Adamu Abdullahi-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to prioritise party unity over personal interest.
Speaking during the National Convention of the party, at the Eagle Square, Abuja, the President also urged the new NWC to ensure that competent individuals emerged the party’s flagbearers for the 2023 elections.
He said, “This Convention is coming at a crucial time when we prepare for another round of a general election. Therefore, the need to remain strong and united for the Party to exploit the rich and abundant potentials at its disposal cannot be overemphasized.
“We appreciate the right to hold different opinions and aspirations, however, such differences must not be to the detriment of the Party.
“l passionately appeal to you all to support the incoming National Working Committee (NWC) to promote unity and avoid sentiments that are capable of causing disaffection and disunity.
“For those aspiring for party and public offices, your failure to realize such aspirations for Party offices or to fly the Party’s flag, should not be a basis for a campaign of calumny against the party.
“We should have the spirit of sportsmanship and always support the party to succeed.”
