The opposition All  Progressive Congress, APC, has set a  machinery in motion to douse the over-swirling lava of acrimony in some state chapters of the party over power sharing.
A high powered committee led by a former governor of Edo State, John Oyegun, and one-time Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, national chairman, Kawu Baraje, is already on tour of the troubled states.

The power sharing crisis, sources in APC told Sunday Vanguard, has been limited to the three states of Adamawa, Kano and Sokoto states.
Talks are on-going with leaders of the party in those states.
One of the leaders of APC said “the so-called crisis in our party is being exaggerated.

”He continued, what Nigerians must understand about the defection of the five governors to our party is that conditions were given and met before they moved.
”The demand they made was that as state governors, special treatment being enjoyed by sitting APC state governors had to be extended to them too.

”And this special treatment was simply that they would be allowed – like their APC governor-counterparts – to nominate chapter chairmen of the party in their states.
”We agreed to that demand and it was only sensible to so agree because a state governor can not join the party in the state and you now relegate him.

”But the in-coming governors were also made to understand that the arrangement was interim.
”Whatever arrangement on ground now in all the states would give way after our registration exercise which commences mid-January to be followed by our congresses”.
Sunday Vanguard was made to understand that the congresses of the party would hold at the end of the first quarter of this year.
