The group's coordinator, Alhaji Omar Aiyelabegan, said, "It's an open fact that our party, APC, is facing crisis and we don't want that type of crisis to continue, because it is being perpetuated by political job seekers and people who want to benefit out of the current unpleasant situation. That is why we want to put the record straight."
