Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has urged supporters of All Progressives Congress to close ranks and be more accommodating to ensure the victory of the party at all levels in 2015.
Fani-Kayode made the call on Thursday in Yola, Adamawa State while speaking with newsmen.
The APC chieftain, who spoke against the backdrop of the leadership tussle facing the party in Adamawa, Kano and Sokoto States, said stakeholders needed to come together to face the challenge of edging out the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said: “We are fighting PDP.
“We must come together, close ranks and fight it.”
Fani-Kayode urged those labelling APC as a regional party to desist from dragging religion and tribalism into the party
He said: “South West is controlled by the APC.
“We have APC governors and members in the South South and South East as well as North East and North West.
“APC is a national party with Muslims, Christians and traditionalists.
“Everybody is welcome in APC.”
The former minister, who accompanied Malam Nuhu Ribadu to Yola, also took time to meet with Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State.
He said the defection of Nyako and four other governors to the APC was a popular action that would contribute to APC’s victory not only in Adamawa State but at the national level in 2015.
