APC Panel Promises to End Conflicts

The Committee on Strategy, Conflict Resolution and Mobilisation of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) represents a strategic institutional effort to address internal party conflicts and strengthen cohesion ahead of future political engagements. Chaired by Yobe State Governor and former APC National Caretaker Chairman, Mai Mala Buni, the committee was inaugurated in December by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as part of broader party consolidation measures. Its inaugural meeting, held in Abuja, brought together prominent party stakeholders, including serving governors, former governors, cabinet ministers, and senior political advisers, underscoring the high-level commitment to internal reconciliation. The committee’s mandate focuses on resolving lingering disputes, managing emerging threats, and fostering inclusiveness among both longstanding and newly inducted party members. Emphasis was placed on strategic engagement, wide consultation, and proactive conflict resolution mechanisms capable of producing sustainable outcomes. Although no official communiqué was issued after the meeting, subsequent confirmation highlighted the committee’s resolve to prioritise collective party interests over personal ambitions. By advocating unity, inclusion, and forward-looking strategies, the committee seeks to reinforce internal stability within the APC, which is critical for maintaining political dominance and ensuring effective governance in Nigeria’s evolving democratic landscape.
