ADC, actually, from what I was told, is a split, not from our party, but from another party. So, if it is a split from another party, well, they are only getting weaker. So, as far as we are concerned, we are not worried about that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have never been worried about opposition, we have always been concerned about our strengths and what we need to do in order to give back to the good people of Nigeria and I think that is what Mr. President has always done, and that is why all of us governors are doing what we can do best in our various states, in order to support our administration, and we have to continue to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I don\u2019t pay attention to what the other parties are doing, because I am more concerned about what my party is doing,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>On the choice of Yilwatda as the party\u2019s national chairman, Sule said stakeholders from the North-Central zone no longer have any reason to complain about their place in the APC leadership hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new chairman actually is another Renewed Hope Agenda chairman. He is coming at a time that somebody like him is needed. We, the people of North-Central, who have been agitating for the return of the chairmanship to our zone, we have no complaints now, he is in our zone,\u201d Sule said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
