JUST IN: Buni reconciles Ameachi, Sylva
The reconciliatory efforts of the Governor Mai Mala Buni led Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee (CENCPC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC) on Monday saw Minister of Transport, Rotimi Ameachi and his counterpart Minister of State, Petroleum, Timipre Sylva agreeing to work together to reposition the party in the South-South geo-political zone of the country.
The two of them who were one time governors of Rivers and Bayelsa States disclosed this development to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
The Minister of Transport who earlier arrived at the party Secretariat around 1:15 pm left after few minutes only to return with the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee to join the Minister of State for Petroleum at about 2 pm for the closed-door meeting that lasted almost an hour.
The political differences between the two South-South leaders in recent past have had a toll on the party’s fortune in the region.
Speaking with newsmen after the closed-door meeting, Ameachi who was accompanied by the former governor Sylva, said:
“We have agreed that both of us will work together.”
