Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has called on aggrieved aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State to set aside personal interests and unite behind the party ahead of forthcoming elections.
Dogara made this appeal while leading a meeting of the APC State Reconciliation Committee with House of Representatives aspirants at the party’s secretariat in Bauchi.
He said reconciliation remained essential to building a stronger APC capable of winning future elections, urging members to support candidates who emerged through the party’s primary process.
According to him, party unity should take precedence over individual political ambitions.
The aspirants commended the reconciliation initiative, saying it had created an opportunity for dialogue, mutual understanding and renewed confidence in the party’s leadership.
They also reaffirmed their commitment to the APC and pledged to mobilise support for the party in future electoral contests.
Speaking on behalf of participants, some of the aspirants said the process reflected a positive shift in the party’s approach to resolving internal disputes through consultation and inclusiveness.
The reconciliation committee noted that the meeting is part of an ongoing engagement with party stakeholders aimed at promoting peace and strengthening cohesion across Bauchi State.
