The meeting of the merger committees of the parties that announced the formation of All Progressives Congress (APC) ended in a deadlock yesterday in Abuja. Chieftains of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), at the meeting called for caution, as they noted that the symbol of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) should not be reflected in the logo of APC against the background of denials from the national executive of the party that APGA was not a party to the merger deal. Certain chieftains of APGA stormed out of the meeting as it could not be resolved.

Daily Sun sighted Senator Annie Okonkwo at the meeting. But speaking with newsmen after the closed-door session, National Publicity Secretary of ACN, Chief Lai Mohammed, denied that the meeting ended in a deadlock, but admitted that the merger committees were wary of reflecting the APGA logo in the APC logo. “When you are having this type of meetings, of course, you are going to have different views.

We appreciate the fact that APGA is today factionalised. We thought it would not be proper for us to take any of the symbols of APGA into the APC’s logo which they accepted. “Their only point is that they be allowed to report back to their leaders and tell them that APGA’s symbol would not be in the new APC logo because the moment we do that, they will take us to court. That is why we have now postponed the announcement of the logo until a time that they have had their own consultation,” Mohammed said.

The ACN scribe further dismissed the reaction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur that individual ambitions of gladiators behind the APC would truncate their professed intention of dislodging PDP. Mohammed’s remarks:” If PDP is waiting that the issue of individual ambition is going to divide APC, I think they are mistaken. What I have seen in all our deliberations throughout today is the extent at which people are ready to make sacrifices. How people are ready to bend backwards to ensure that this merger works.

This merger isn’t about ACN, ANPP, CPC and APGA but the whole of Nigeria and I can assure you that the whole of Nigeria is waiting with bated breath as to the outcome of the merger.” Mohammed said that the merger committees agreed to convey to the national leaderships of the ACN, ANPP and CPC, the need to hold special conventions of the respective parties involved in the merger deal for ratification of individual political parties’ decision to dissolve into APC. The merger committes also constituted three committees: Constitution, Manifesto and Strategy.

APC is bound to fail. APGA can never be a party to such merger

Coming from an Ibo newspaper. Shior, APC has come to stay, throw APGA out one time

Let's not be carried away by the present occupant of Aso Rock.

We have seen the worst with PDP in power. We have nothing to loose by giving APC a chance.

Leave them alone how long they will continue to cry for president?no doubt before igbo can smell president seat may be 2070

best post so far

Hmmmmmmm. Indifferent.

So what's the crisis??

What I see is‎​ a group of people doing all they can to cross their "I"s and dot their "T"s ( ) in a bid to ensuring that the merger is‎​ successfully done.

And your bigotry blinds you to the fact that no matter how impressive your credentials are, you need a solid platform to realise your desire to lead.

That platform (party) won't be made of saints, but of men who though imperfect have the interest of the country at heart.

THIS IS A CRIMINAL PARTY. THIS
IS A PARTY OF JIHADISTS AND
TERRORISTS. THIS IS A PARTY
OF DRUG BARONS AND
CRIMINALS. BOLA TINUBU AND
MOHAMMADU BUHARI ARE
CRIMINALS. IN A COUNTRY WITH
GOOD JUDICIAL SYSTEM,THESE
CRIMINALS ARE SUPPOSED TO
BE IN PRISON. NDI-IGBO
SHOULD BEWARE OF THIS
MONSTER CALLED APC.

unfortunately for you and fortunately for Nigerians. The merger wont work out, people like Tinubu and Buhari have basterdized any hope of getting redemption fr such merger

Muddle- brained Biafran, sure you are dyslexic otherwise you would have understood that they only allowed for wider consultation. APGA-APGA is what we need in the merger and they are already committed to it and not APGA-PDP!

APGA-PDP all the way. A winning Formular.

Vote APC for Three President.

Lets make history with Buhari, Oshiomole(Fashola)& Rochas as President all at once. lmfao!

If Buhari and Tinubu are allegedly what you call them,what is Jonathan? A saint? I guess you have forgotten so soon that your president dines with ex convicts who are his mentors and are in the killer party.a man who adores criminals is also a bloody criminal!

It is nothing but 'Amalgamation of Parallel Confusions' (APC) just watch out you will remember this name I just coined for them

Some people out of panic are coining excessive and often meaningless use of words. Their panic attack will remain unabated till 2015 as APC will continue to trigger it.

take dat: Some people out of panic are coining excessive and often meaningless use of words. Their panic attack will remain unabated till 2015 as APC will continue to trigger it.

Merely contemplating the possibility of a different outcome in 2015 is inducing all manner of ailments in certain Nairalanders.

Where is the good Doc, @Sincere Nigerian, when you need him?

Look, it is rant of those who are insecure and facing the reality that Nigerian Politics has changed irrevocably and that they may be swept away. Now everything is a "crisis". Tinubu did not wear socks today "APC in crisis". Buhari was seen without a hat "APC in crisis". Fictitious "Crisis" everywhere concocted by jittery minds. We dey laff.

2015
Bigger trenches will have to be dug

I can't imagine what Rochas Okorocha is thinking right now. Will he go back to Apga after his party's logo has been rejected? What a shame. How could he drag Apga to Apc as if the party is a subsidiary of Rochas foundation.
If his party's logo could be rejected, is it his candidacy as VP(which is the main reason he joined Apc) that will be accepted?
Rochas wake up from your dream.

Hilarious post.

Hmmm...

*scratching my head, wondering how a broom, sword, corn cob and chicken will fit into one logo*

Why don't they just come up with something different?

APC may actually surprise the South Easterners. Let's wait and see what it can offer Ndigbo before dismissing an only alternative party at Federal level.

ordinary as logo can be they are fighting over it what will they do when it comes to real issues like sharing of portfolio, sharing of power , primaries for senatorial, gubernatorial and presidential post , A house divided against itself should never be allowed to preside over a bigger house

Probably, an honest man may have suggested drawing Ojukwu's image in the eastern part of the logo.
