From Kayode Abdulazeez
In an attempt to calm the nerves of the aggrieved member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, the national leadership of the ruling party set to meet the new Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP today in Abuja. Following the letter of expression of grievances and alleged marginalisation by the nPDP authored by Leader of the group, Alhaji Abubakar Baraje.
Baraje disclosed this to journalists in Ilorin, Kwara State, yesterday, also said the letter written to APC was to forestall the parallel congresses that trailed the party across the country, which is a reflection of the internal crisis.
He said: “Let me state clearly that the crisis of parallel congresses of the party across the states was foreseen. Our letter, promptly and appropriately addressed, would have settled these problems before now.
“In the letter, we never said we gave ultimatum. But we advised them.
“The party has invited us, exactly on the seventh day of the letter. They wanted us to meet that same day, but because we were speaking for several leaders across the country, we told them we could not.
