Speaking on the issue of consensus candidate,Hon. Gwiwa maintained that every political party have a way of managing its affairs noting that if the leaders of the party see consensus as the best way that will cause the party less harm,then members will follow so as to usher in acceptable executives that will be embrace by all.

“The decision of our Governor, Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubaka is our decision and we’re ready to do that which we’re asked to do. The instruction is to vote Abdullahi Adamu as Chairman and other positions”
On the issue of supposed litigations after the Convention, Gwiwa posited that there is no political party as big as APC that will not have issues at one point or the other but the good thing is the party has its internal mechanism to resolving all issues.
