Kekemeke assured party members and supporters that the APC still has ample time to reconcile with disgruntled factions before the inauguration of the National Assembly next month.

He emphasized that the party’s leadership, in conjunction with the President-elect, is working diligently to address any perceived acrimony within its ranks, as part of the democratic process.

“The opposition will not take over the National Assembly,” Kekemeke asserted.

“The national working committee of our great party is engaging with aspirants for the House of Representatives and the Senate, and in a short while, everything will be resolved. There is no cause for alarm. This is a normal occurrence, and our party believes in democratic engagement. We all know that the President-elect is an engager.”

Responding to queries about Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s dissenting stance on the party’s decision, Kekemeke acknowledged the governor’s reputation for fearlessness and justice.

However, he expressed confidence that Akeredolu would be further briefed, aligning his position with that of the party and the President-elect. Kekemeke anticipated that the reasons behind the party’s decisions would be clarified to the governor.

In a message from Tinubu to Pa Fasoranti, Kekemeke conveyed the President-elect’s deep respect for the Afenifere leader. As Tinubu was currently out of the country, he had entrusted Kekemeke with delivering his message.

The representative affirmed that Tinubu’s prayers for Fasoranti during his election campaign had been answered, and he reiterated the President-elect’s commitment to fulfilling campaign promises and bringing renewed hope to Nigeria.

As the National Assembly’s inauguration draws nearer, the APC remains determined to reconcile internal differences, ensuring a unified front in the legislature.
