President Bola Tinubu has given Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, the task of leading a reconciliation process in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bauchi State chapter.
The assignment involves addressing long-standing disputes in the party and restoring unity among its members.
The president also appointed the following persons as members of the committee; Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni, former House Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate) Abdullahi Gumel, and Abbas’ Chief of Staff, Jake Dan-Azumi, among others.
The team held its first meeting in Abuja on July 31, where they examined the roots of the crisis, traced back to the party’s 2015 primaries.
They agreed to embark on a fact-finding mission by engaging with key stakeholders, including former Bauchi governors Mohammed Abubakar and Isa Yuguda, Minister of Health Ali Pate, and other political figures.
The committee is expected to conclude its work within one month and submit its report to the president.
