It is an undeniable historical fact<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>that the movement of the former New PDP block to form the APC contributed<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>immensely to the victory of the APC in the elections. The former new PDP<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>included five sitting Governors of Sokoto, Kano, Kwara, Adamawa and Rivers<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>States and former Governors of Kebbi, Gombe, Osun, former Vice President<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>of Nigeria, former acting National Chairman of PDP, sitting Speaker of the<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>House of Representatives, many serving members of the National Assembly<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>and many renowned politicians and PDP Elders. It was a watershed moment in<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>Nigeria\u2019s political History.<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>Most of these leaders not only DELIVERED their States to the APC at the<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>elections, some of the Governors were also assigned specific<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>responsibilities to ensure that other States were also delivered to the<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>APC in the 2015 elections. The then Governor of Sokoto took charge of<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>Kebbi and the then Governor of Kano State took responsibility for Kano,<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>Kaduna and Jigawa States just to mention a few examples. There were also<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>unprecedented efforts by many stakeholders such as Senator Bukola Saraki,<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>in concert with others, to DELIVER the entire North Central to the APC.<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>These efforts, contributions and sacrifice were made in spite of the fact<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>that the presidential ticket was taken by the erstwhile Congress for<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>Progressive Change, (CPC) and the Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN) blocks<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>of the party. It is a matter for grave concern that His Excellency, Mr<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has never publicly acknowledged our<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>efforts in the face of clear evidence that the total number of votes<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>scored by the APC in States where leaders and members of the then NEW PDP<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>block held sway made the difference.<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>The stubborn facts are as follows: In Kano State APC scored 1,903,999 in<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>2015, and in Kwara 302,146. In Sokoto State it scored 671,926, and 374,701<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>in Adamawa. In Kebbi State, APC had 567,883 votes and 885,988 in Jigawa.<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>It was the same story in Gombe (459,898), Kogi (264,851), and Benue<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>(373,961) votes. These represented significant additions to the APC<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>victory column. Indeed, the influence, activities, momentum and ripple<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>effect generated by the former New PDP block was significant in the<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>victory of APC in the entire elections in the whole country.<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>At this stage we would chronicle a few grievances which if addressed will<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>lead to a harmonious APC where justice, equity, fairness and peace will<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>reign and enable APC avoid rancour, reinvigorate the pace of national<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>development and face the 2019 General Elections as one united party.<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>Our grievances include:<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>(a) In the constitution of the Federal Executive Council, (FEC) the New<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>PDP block was generally sidelined as virtually no position was conceded to<\/em><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><em>it.
