“We hereby, express our appreciation for his latest gesture to settle our rents and clear the salary arrears of the staff. This is indeed highly commendable, considering the fact that the Distinguished Senator had just recently lost an election. This notwithstanding, he has taken the brave decision to bail the party out of its problems. We wish to appeal to all APC members, irrespective of their position, to respond in similar manner as we continue to grapple with the demands of managing this party. We hereby reiterate that the APC in Taraba State remains the only party in the country where the Executive Committee members neither receives monthly allowance nor have an impress to run its activities.
“We also want to use this occasion to appeal to all estranged members of the party that the door remains open to those who are ready to retrace their steps and return to the party. Political campaigns are over, and this is the time to unit and build our country. We therefore cannot afford the luxury of a divided house because such situation may affect our full participation in the APC national government, which we have contributed in setting up” El-Suldi said.
