A group known as the Concerned APC Members Forum has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to pick the next chairman of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.
In a letter dated February 11 and addressed to the president, the group’s convener, Okpokwu Ogenyi, asked Buhari to call a meeting of all the national chairmanship aspirants of the party and “hand over the preferred candidate to them”.
According to the letter: “Judging by the activities of the various actors, we appeal to Mr. President not to allow the selfish interest of the 2023 Presidential ambition of some ranking members to destroy the party,”
“We want Mr. President to recommend a highly committed and disciplined member, a man of humility and resilience with acute knowledge of party administration that will respect both former and serving governors, senators, ministers, party faithfuls, and of course, the leaders of our party.

“This will immediately heal any injury in the heart of any and the course of explanation to his supporters while he stepped down.”
It reads further: “Your integrity and sincerity remain the Pillar holding the Party together since the 2015 general elections,”
“Sir, we are bold to say that our party has been in crisis since we won the 2015 presidential election. This crisis came as a result of a rewarding system where a monkey has worked and the baboon is eating.
“Most members of our party are complaining of government patronage while some persons are occupying more than one position in government.
