Senator Lawan pledged his dedication and support to the party, claiming that insecurity in Nigeria had grown over time and is not being addressed by the current administration.

Also speaking to the committee, the party’s National Chairman stated that this was the first meeting the National Working Committee would have with the NEC and that it would begin the process by uniting disgruntled members and discussing on upcoming elections.

Adamu also urged members to demonstrate exemplary behaviour, claiming that the party’s core problem was an ego-fueled catastrophe.

The National Chairman called for an end to the current squabbles within the party, claiming that there was no need for the rivalry.
