The reconciliatory efforts of the Governor Mai Mala Buni led Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee (CENCPC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday saw Minister of Transport, Rotimi Ameachi and his counterpart Minister of State, Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, agreeing to work together to reposition the party in the South-South geo-political zone of the country.
The one time governors of Rivers and Bayelsa States respectively disclosed this development to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee at the Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
The Minister of Transport who earlier arrived at the party Secretariat around 1:15 pm left after few minutes only to return with the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee to join the Minister of State for Petroleum at about 2 pm for the closed-door meeting that lasts almost an hour.
