Top leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) including the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu have been urged to douse the current political tension in the country and heal ethno-religious wounds now that the elections are over.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, the Spokesperson of the Coalition of APC support groups, Dele Fulani specifically appealed to Tinubu to disband the APC Presidential Campaign Council and appoint a spokesman for the office of president-elect.
He said it is time for reconciliation in the polity, and asked APC leaders and especially the Presidential Campaign Council to stop responding to statements by the opposition parties.
Fulani also asked the top echelon of the party to zone the position of senate president of the 10th assembly to the South-East in the interest of fairness, equity and justice.

“Now that elections are over, it is expedient that deliberate effort must be actioned at moderating all forms of communications and conversations emanating from our party and its fold so as to calm nerves and douse the tensions that have already built up in the nation before and after the outcome of the general elections,” he said.
