Their plan, the source revealed, was to push for the harmonisation of the executives of their various states through the direct intervention of President Buhari. Apart from violence that trailed the exercise in many states, parallel congresses were held in about 10 states, while the aggrieved groups have since petitioned the party’s NWC. He told Sunday Tribune that harmonisation would not be foreclosed, once both parties agree. He said: “Yes, there could be harmonisation, but it can only come when the parties agree to harmonise. The party leadership wouldn’t force harmonisation because we have said that we would only recognise the outcome of the congresses where we sent people from the national secretariat to conduct.”Advertisements
