Chairmen of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have resolved to meet with the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the state of affairs in the country. 

Secretary of the APC States Chairmen’s Forum and Chairman of Cross River State, Alphonsus Ogar Eba Esq, disclosed this to newsmen on Thursday after their meeting in Abuja.
Daily Trust reports that Nigerians are groaning over deteriorating insecurity, hunger, poverty, hike in fuel pump price, electricity tariff, and other challenges bedeviling the country.
Ogar who was flanked by the acting chairman of the forum, Hon Cornelius Ojelabi, and other states chairmen said the meeting would discuss a variety of issues with the federal government including that of hardship in the country.
He said, “The Forum of APC States Chairmen met yesterday to discuss issues that are of great concern to the party’s democratic ethos and the success of our APC led administration under the able leadership of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and his dependable Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima GCON.
“While the Forum has resolved to have close-door meetings with the leadership of the NWC and government, we considered it necessary to discuss the recent action of the NWC under the leadership of H.E. Alhaji Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje with respect to the extension granted to the caretaker committee of Rivers State APC led by Chief Tony Okocha.”
Fielding questions from newsmen on the current hardship in the land,  Ogar said,” About the hardship, yes, everybody has a complaint. We are not unaware of that and we said we are going to have a closed-door meeting with the NWC and the government.
“So the government we are referring to is the federal government. Untill that is thrashed and matters addressed, it will be premature to address the press on these issues.”
Ogar also said the states chairmen were working with the NWC to resolve crises in some state chapters of the party.
He said the decision of the Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led NWC to extend the tenure of the caretaker committee led by Chief Tony Okocha in Rivers State would boost its fortunes as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
The Forum also singled out a former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, as a performing minister and enumerated his milestones in the areas of security, infrastructur and human capital development in the FCT, but kept mum on whether non-perfoming ministers should be sacked.
