Prince Benjamin Apugo, a member of the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) who became member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has promised the ruling party that their resolve to halt talks with the presidency will not bring about them leaving the political group, Daily Trust reports.

Apugo said this in Umuahia, Abia state capital on Sunday, June 10 in his address to newsmen. The stalwart dismissed claim that the APC will disintegrate, adding that members of the nPDP only need to compose themselves and meet with President Muhammadu Buhari in respect to alleged marginalisation.

Speaking further, Apugo appealed to the president to create liaison offices in non-APC states, which is similar to what a former head of states, Shehu Shagari, did during the second republic.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com reported that the nPDP faction within the APC had called on the federal government to stop the trial of the Senate president, Bukola Saraki.
This was said to be part of the demand made by the bloc during their meeting with the All Progressives Congress led by Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential villa, in Abuja on Monday, May 28.
