The Bisi Akande-led All Progressives Congress National Reconciliation Committee is handling no less than 170 petitions from unhappy party members, the committee’s Secretary, Senator John Enoh, has said.

Enoh also said the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent ban on interstate movements has forced the panel to temporarily suspend its sittings.

President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC governors met on Monday to discuss the discord within the party and lol for ways to prevent it from further factionalisation.

The party is faces crises at the national level and at state chapters in Edo, Ondo, Zamfara, Bayelsa, Rivers, Lagos and Osun.

Following the removal of National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole by the Appeals Court, about three man have laid claims to the job.

One of them, the party’s Deputy National Secretary, Victor Giadom, on Monday dismissed the governorship primary election conducted by the APC on Monday in Edo State.
This is even as the Abiola Ajimobi-led National Working Committee announced the suspension of Giadom and names a replacement as the deputy national secretary.

The APC National Reconciliation Committee was set up in February following the failure of previous panels to resolve the party’s crises across the country.
