State Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday urged the Senate President, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, to uphold and help preach the supremacy of the Party on which platform they operate.

This is even as their colleagues from the South-West geopolitical zone, however, shunned the meeting of the Party’s State Chairmen with the Senate President.

Twenty-seven state chairmen of the party, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja (FCTA), were in attendance at the meeting, which took the form of a courtesy visit in Saraki’s office at the National Assembly Complex.

Speaking on behalf of the group, the Chairman of the APC State Chairmen, who also doubles as the Chairman of the Kano State Chapter of the Party, Mr. Umaru Haruna Dogowa, urged Saraki to uphold and preach to others to abide by the supremacy of the APC as contained in the Party’s constitution.

Dogowa also noted that the chairmen came principally to congratulate the former Kwara State Governor and all the APC senators on their victory at the polls, as well as Saraki’s election to the exalted office in the Senate.

While expressing the gratitude of the state chairmen to the Senate President for attending the the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at its national secretariat, Abuja, Dogowa noted that it was an indication of Saraki’s readiness to embrace the reconciliation moves of President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of the Party.

“As an astute politician and somebody who was a politician per excellence, we honour you very well. As a grass root politician, would like you to, as advised by Mr. President to use your good office to consolidate on the already initiated peace moves by the President, the party leadership, APC chairmen’s forum and all APC members.

“This will help us as a party to consolidate our victory so that the APC can fulfill all our promises, to give us the opportunity to lead this country at least for a 100 years.

“Lastly, we came to inform you that it is high time we interacted with you and to tell you what we feel about the Party and particularly talk to you about the supremacy of our party. We are happy that you are a party man and abide by the tenets of the party and we implore you to, as a matter of necessity uphold the supremacy of the party; to preach to others also to uphold the supremacy of the party as contained in the constitution of APC,” he appealed.

Responding, Saraki assured the delegation that he would not abandon the party, promising that the Senate would cooperate with and and support the executive to ensure that the APC government succeeds in delivering good governance to the people.

He told the party chairmen that he would not disappoint Nigerians, pledging his full commitment to the party at all levels of governance.

“I want to reassure you that despite the happenings in the past few weeks, we have to work as APC members; that we are committed to the party. I want to use this opportunity to assure you of our utmost commitment to a close relation with the party not only at the national but at all levels.

 “I want to let you know that our doors are opened. We are grass root politicians; we will not be either be too far away from the party or abandon the party or dump the party at this stage.

“Finally, I want to use this opportunity to assure you of our corporation with the executive arm led by our President, Muhammadu Buhari, to ensure that he succeeds so that we continue to win elections in this country,” he assured.
