The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, and
former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, have settled the
perceived political differences between them.
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr Festus Keyamo,
disclosed this in a statement sent to Channels Television on Monday.
According to him, both leaders of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) ironed out their differences when they met on April 14.
“The meeting, which was at the instance of Senator Godwill
Akpabio, was brokered by two chieftains of the party, Alhaji Nasiru Danu, (the
Dan Amarna of Dutse) and Mr Festus Keyamo, SAN,” the spokesman for the APC
Presidential Campaign Council said.
He added, “Alhaji Danu, was one of the Directors of
Logistics of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and a long-time ally of
President Muhammadu Buhari while Mr Keyamo was the Director of Strategic
Communications of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.”
The SAN explained that the meeting which lasted several
hours took place at the private residence of Mr Danu in the Asokoro region of
Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He disclosed that the former governors “frankly and
honestly” talked about their disagreements from their days as governors while
they were both in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Keyamo added that Amaechi and Akpabio discussed and analysed
the performance of the APC in the South-South region in the just-concluded
elections and identified areas where things went wrong and how to improve those
areas in future.
“At the end, both leaders agreed to close ranks and work in
unison for the overall interest of the party in the country,” he said.
“They promised to put behind them all previously perceived
misgivings between them and to give a positive direction to the teeming
supporters of the party across the country.”
