Efforts are already being made to address the grievances of the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) which fused into the All Progressives Congress.
The leader of the group, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, made this known on Monday just as he pointed out that nPDP remained in the APC.
It would be recalled that members of the nPDP wrote to the leadership of the APC complaining that they had been marginalised in the party’s scheme of things.
They therefore sought audience with APC leaders for the issues they raised to be addressed.

Speaking shortly after a closed door meeting with the leader of the APC on Monday, Baraje expressed hope that their issues would be adequately addressed.
He said the meeting was a good one.
“It is a good start, it is a good beginning,” he told reporters.
“As you are aware, we requested to see the party leadership, and the party, very sensitive and responsible, responded to our requests adequately and we think it is a very encouraging time…
“We couldn’t come until today; we begged the party to shift the day till today and today we have seen our party.
“We are party members, this office is ours; we have only come home to discuss those observations; the meeting was very beautiful,” he added.
The Deputy National Chairman, APC, Sen. Shuaibu Lawal, who represented the National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun at the meeting which was attended by other members of the National Working Committee, said the issues raised were being addressed.
“We have not yet resolved; they wrote to us, they are party men, they have grievances, we looked at the letter and their grievances are genuine.
“They requested a meeting within seven days and before the seven days expired, I called them and they were not ready to come.
“They said we should shift the meeting to today, which we did.”
