I think I succeeded in trying to get my position understood in the sense that I said we start from bottom upward, from the polling units to wards, to local government, to state, and then to Abuja. So it is the party because I am only concerned about my party.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;The party members in all constituencies will know that their convention is coming up and therefore when they come to Abuja, they are likely to act together.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere is no kingmaker from Abuja that will say take this or take that, no constituency is to be dictated to, all the constituencies are supposed to produce their leadership in our party, what other parties do is their own business.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cBut we want to make sure that our party members understand that they are respected from polling units to wards,\u00a0 to local government,\u00a0 to state, and up to Abuja. So those who want to be elected at any level let them work for it, nobody is going to appoint anybody.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe have a time frame for the national convention, we have to work because the four-year circle is constitutional. It cannot be interfered with by anybody. So if the party couldn\u2019t agree, then the opposition can take over.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhat did the PDP do? They saw that they can\u2019t come together but when ACN, ANPP, CPC, APGA came together before PDP realized it they were off, they are still off, so they can see it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI have always said that joining the APC is no guarantee to\u00a0 escape prosecution if you are corrupt,&#8221; he added.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to settle its disputes or risk defeat in the 2023 general elections.
