heard about have been resolved by the Governors, the NWC, the Caucus of the
National Assembly, and the BoT. There is no faction;.everything has reverted
to the status quo under acting Chairman Damagum,pending the time the
governors and other organs of the party will sit down and resolve all the issues.
“There is no party that does not have problems. Some of them are legal, and we do not want to preempt the
outcome of legal procedures.
“So whatever speculation and perceptions have gone out are wrong. Both parties have agreed that, in the
interest of the party and Nigeria, we should return to the status quo before the suspension and counter
suspension.
On the much awaited National Executive Council ,NEC, meeting , he said “the governors, BoT, and NWC will sit down and discuss the sacrosancy of the October 24 NEC meeting.”
