Trouble in APC: Party sets up zonal peace committees

Adams Oshiomhole under fire over bribery allegations

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the formation and composition of a National Peace and Reconciliation Committees for each geo-political zone.

This, according to a statement by Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, on Monday in Abuja, is in recognition of the need to address the post-primary elections disputes in the party.

The APC had started to fall apart shortly after the primaries with no fewer than three governors accusing the party Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, of collecting bribe to influence primary outcome. First Lady, Aisha Buhari, also joined in the condemnation of the primary election which she said was heavily monetised and grossly unfair to some candidates.

Issa-Onilu said that the party’s National Chairman, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, would inaugurate the committees on Wednesday.
