Mohammed Bolori, alongside the State Youth Leader, Hon Sheriif Banki and other party Executives have tendered their unreserved apology to Alhaji Kashim Ibrahim Imam, Mattawali of Borno, a Chietftain of the party, and other members who felt aggrieved, especially the members of the constituted Transition Management Committee under the Chairmanship of Hon. Ali Wurge who were hitherto rejected by the state Executives.

Briefing Journalists at Nannie and Boi suites in Maiduguri yesterday, the Chairman of the party said, the State Executives have realized their mistakes for rejecting the Wurge-led Committee were done on errors which led to misunderstanding amongst members and leaders of the party, hence, the need to bury their differences, work together in unity to ensure total victory at the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

“Therefore, following series of meetings and holistic reconciliation we were made to understand that we acted in error and hence, we apologize to our national leaders, particularly H.E Kashim Ibrahim Imam and pledged our loyalty to him in the interest of the party and the general party members.

“On this note, we officially recognize and accepted the inaugurated state Transitional Management Committee under the leadership of Alhaji Ali Bukar Wurge and the Registration Committee under the leadership of Hon. Peter Biya accordingly.

” I therefore urged all our stakeholders and teaming members to support the committee to carry out their mandates successfully.
