President Muhammadu Buhari has said all All Progressives Congress’ faithful must collectively come together to rise above the current crisis threatening to engulf the party.
Buhari made the call in Abuja on Friday at the first National Executive Council emergency meeting of the APC after its victory at the polls.
He said party members should strive to win the war (National Assembly crisis) as they won the battle (general elections).
He said: ”APC has won the battle and lost the war which is a paradox of democracy and we shall see how we shall manage it.
”How do we manage it? We move forward.
“I have already appealed to you through the chairman, the leadership of the party, through the governors, through our lawmakers and the APC must not disappoint its constituency, the nation.
”We have had to convince our individual constituencies that we are worthy of sacrifices they had made in staying awake days and nights, travelling all over the country and making sure the party emerged victorious.
”What subsequently happened is human and as human beings, we are not perfect but let our collective actions prove that we’ve won the election, the battle, and we will eventually win the war,” he said.
Buhari further urged the party members to honour the platform through which they won the elections and gave a background of how he contested his present position and lost three times.
