The battle of wills rocking the leadership of the All Progressives Congress may soon be over.
According to a report by SUNDAY PUNCH ,Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, had started reaching out to some of the
aggrieved leaders of the party.
Saraki is one of the gladiators in the
clash of egos and wills that followed the Senate leadership election on
June 9 and subsequent appointment of principal officers.
The Senate President had earlier visited former President Olusegun Obasanjo to help him beg President Muhammadu Buhari.
He also reportedly met with the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, on the same matter.
During the week, some emissaries sent by
Saraki met with President Buhari and sought forgiveness for the Senate
President for acting contrary to the dictates of the party.
However, sources in the party told Said on Saturday that the emissaries also had a brief to meet with the
party’s national leader and former Governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola
Tinubu.
Many within the party see the crisis as a
battle of wills with Buhari, Tinubu and some party leaders on one side
of the ring and the Senate President and his backers on the other side.
One of the prominent APC leaders that is believed to have backed Saraki
is former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
