Member representing Bende Federal Constituency Abia state, Rep. Benjamin Kalu has admitted that there are disagreements in the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC, expressing optimism that an amicable resolution will be reached after the Saturday National Convention of the party.
According to Rep. Kalu, Abia is not the only chapter where there are disagreements in APC, noting that democracy is a platform where there is interplay of interest, ambition and aspiration.
Speaking with ABN TV on Saturday at the venue of the party convention in Abuja, the federal lawmaker said it takes a mature mind to see beyond these interests which he says compete against each other to look at the public interests.
“We hope to get there. Are we there yet? No. Are we getting there? Yes. I don’t know how long it will take but we are wishing that this bridge between people who are aggrieved will be built as soon as possible.
“It is important for the growth of APC in Abia State because no one faction, if there is any will be able to build the bridge. It will take two to so that.
“Most of the experienced men, former this, former that, you can’t wish them away. You can’t undermine their capacity in the political space.
“It is the harmony that people like us are wishing so that we will be able to broker peace in no distant time,” he said.
Rep. Kalu, a member of the media sub-committee of the convention said politics of 2023 in APC will not be discussed till the issues which he said are lingering for a long time are duly resolved.
