A founding member of All Progressives Congress APC, High Chief Michael Johnny, has proffered adherence to equity, justice and inclusiveness as panacea to resolving the lingering internal crisis bedeviling APC in Delta State.
Johnny, Agadiwei of Gbaramatu Kingdom and leader of Delta State Ijaw APC, in a video message on Wednesday, noted that the internal crisis in Delta APC was unnecessary and must be put to rest.
In the video, Johnny was responding to the controversial leadership council list, which has further escalated the crisis in the party.
Though, the controversial leadership council list had been withdrawn and dismissed by the National Working Committee NWC of APC.
Johnny pointed that the withdrawn list was done and announced to the public without proper consultations with major stakeholders.
According to him, the party must be seen to belong to all registered APC members in Delta South, Delta Central and Delta North respectively.
Johnny, who joined the APC in early 2015, said there was need for aggrieved members to be calm and patient while efforts are being made to resolve the internal rambling in Delta APC.
He decried the imbalance where a particular Senatorial District appeared to have gained more appointments since 2015, to the detriment of other Senatorial Districts.
Continuing that the Ijaws of APC in Delta South Senatorial have been marginalized, noting that it should be corrected going forward.
Jonny said the primary goal now is how APC will win elections in Delta State come 2027, and also bring development and empowerment to the people of Delta State.
For Johnny, it has become imperative to prioritize peace and unity in Delta APC, which is the only way to position the party to electoral victory in 2027.
