The All Progressives Congress (APC) said on Tuesday it has keenly observed the controversy that has trailed the invitation extended to the Director-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Col Hameed Ali (rtd) by the Senate Signal reports.

In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the APC said “We have watched the issues with growing concern and the expectations that they would be resolved in a manner that would be agreeable to all the parties involved.”

“However, we wish to state that at this point, we have found it necessary to intervene.

“Accordingly, the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun will lead the party’s peace mission to the Leadership of the National Assembly and the concerned party member. We are confident that the party’s effort to broker peace would resolve the matter amicably”, the statement concluded.
