Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has pleaded with the aggrieved members of his party, to be patient with his leadership, in an apparent response to the emergence on Wednesday, of a rebel group, known as the Reformed APC, R-APC.
“My appeal to all those who are aggrieved is
to be patient, give me more time”, Oshiomhole pleaded.
Oshiomhole spoke to Journalists, after receiving the report of the party’s just-concluded National Convention Appeal Panel Committee’s report, in Abuja.
Recall, that Buba Galadima who is the National Chairman of the Reformed APC, announced its formation, at a News Conference; at the Sheraton Hotels, in Abuja, on Wednesday, thereby throwing the entire APC into sudden confusion.
While Speaking, Oshiomhole noted: “The assurance is that under my leadership, we will make honest mistakes, and once our attention is drawn, we will find the courage to make up for our mistakes.
“Some people say how can people eat their words; for me, I will eat my words if it is nutritious enough, and if that is what I have to do to have peace in the family.”
He expressed appreciation to members of the party for his election, and for entrusting with him the responsibility to pilot the party’s affairs at this time.
He acknowledged that he knew of the party’s challenges before accepting the task.
He added that, it was a huge opportunity for him and other newly elected Executives of the party, to make a difference.
This, Oshiomhole said, was not only for the party, but for the country generally.
“So, I appeal to people to realise that a blind man can redeem his eyes, if he applies the correct medication, but you cannot force it to open overnight”, he said.
He added that forcing the eyes to open overnight, would create more problems and damage the eyes the more.
The APC National Chairman, maintained that he would do everything possible to sustain confidence and trust, adding that, everybody was important in the party.
He also said that everybody in the party matters, stressing that, he would run an inclusive party.
“I pray for wisdom and courage, and I believe that we have it, and we will deploy it for peace within the APC family”, Oshiomhole stated.
