Wednesday 29, September 2004 HOME | back to previous page ANPP govs resolve to end party crisis By Chuks Ehirim Senior Correspondent,Abuja   All the seven governors of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) brainstormed all night on Monday at the Yobe State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja and agreed to end the stalemate in the party ranks. It was the second of such meetings in two weeks. Yobe State Governor Bukar Abba Ibrahim, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, said they are determined to reconcile all factions of the party, the only official one with some muscle to stand up to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). A meeting of all the factions will be summoned soon, at which all issues in dispute would be addressed, he said, and urged them to refrain from making further public pronouncements that may inflame the situation. Asked under what organ of the party the governors are operating, Ibrahim said: “We have constituted ourselves into a vehicle for resolving all our problems. Everything you regard as problem we will look very clearly at it”. He acknowledged that the issues in dispute are many but that each will be treated. “The issues are many. It will not be proper for us to treat them in isolation now in dealing with them. That will further aggravate our problem”. Present at the briefing were Governors Ibrahim Shekarau (Kano State), Ahmed Sani Yerima (Zamfara), Adamu Aliero (Kebbi), Ali Modu Sheriff (Borno) and Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto) ANPP National Chairman Don Etiebet, National Publicity Secretary Sani El-katazu, Deputy National Secretary Nnamdi Olebara and Francis Egu, were barred from the press briefing. No one from the Jerry Useni camp showed up at the party secretariat. There has been a running battle between a faction led by the national chairman, Etiebet and a national trustee, Useni. While the Etiebet faction moved to suspend Bafarawa for alleged anti-party activities, the Bafaraw group announced the suspension of Etiebet, prefering to deal with Useni who was thrown up as the leader of the party.
