Nwosu said no single individual owns a party, adding that Ganduje won’t stop anyone from joining their party.
Speaking to journalists after he paid a solidarity visit to Ganduje at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, Nwosu said Ganduje will be happy seeing people joining the party.
“Yes. They had issues but not a single person can owe a party. Kwankwaso coming will also help him in Kano,” Nwosu said, adding that no one should be surprised seeing Ganduje and Kwankwaso resolving their political differences.
“They can resolve their issues in the APC,” Nwosu said, adding that Democratic system in Africa needs to be strengthened.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said the President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have an ulterior motive for insisting on dragging the military into a needless conflict with Niger Republic.
The PDP said the insistence by the APC administration to draft Nigerian soldiers into Niger Republic in defiance to the disapproval by the National Assembly and Nigerians across board, validates apprehensions in the public domain of ulterior motives by the Tinubu-led APC to import crisis and destabilise the nation for political reasons.
PDP said while it frowns at unconstitutional change of government in any part of the world, the situation in Niger Republic does not warrant any external peace-keeping effort and does not constitute any threats whatsoever to Nigeria’s interest to justify committing its already overstretched military to harm’s way in a needless war.
The party added that the insistence of the APC government to go to war in Niger Republic is already heightening tension in Nigeria.

Some former members of the National Assembly under the aegis of The Initiatives, have thrown their weight behind Senate President Godswill Akpabio amid the criticism trailing his comment on senators’ “holiday enjoyment” allowance.
Akpabio was heavily criticised after telling his colleagues on live television that money had been sent to them to “enjoy” their holiday. He made the statement before the Senate adjourned to September 26 for annual recess.
Nigerians faulted the comment as insensitive coming at the time the masses were grappling with the rising cost of living.
Briefing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, the Dean, Faculty Board of The Initiatives, said the senators deserved the holiday bonus, having worked for two months without pay.
