President Muhammadu Buhari has declined to sit for discussions with members of the aggrieved new Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Punch quoted an unnamed highly-placed source as disclosing this on Monday.
The source reportedly said that the president made his intention known at a meeting with governors elected under the platform of the APC.
The APC governors met the president at the Presidential Villa on June 12.
“It is a party matter. I am not ready to sit down with any faction. If they have problems, they should go to the party. I will not interfere.
“Governors as party leaders in the states should deal with all issues. Where there is a need, the party leadership can come in. I will not get involved,” the president was quoted to have said.
Recall that chairman of the defunct nPDP bloc, Alhaji Kawu Baraje had recently given the president a seven-day ultimatum to address its alleged marginalisation and persecution of its members.
