“We there call on all relevant stakeholders to think outside the box with a view to tackling the issue head on, ’’ he said.

Sango said that the meeting received with sadness, the incident of Friday, when one Gyang Bandung and some people attempted to force their way into the party secretariat with protection from armed police men.

According to him, the May 2016 State Congress is adjudged to be free and fair and therefore, condemns in strong terms, all forces both within and outside the party which masterminded the move.

Consequently, he disclosed the constitution of a seven-man disciplinary committee to deal with erring members following the faction’s action.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the committee has Mr Ibrahim Kafi as chairman.

“Due to the need to check the excesses of members and to bring order within the rank and file of the party, we decided to constitute a disciplinary committee, ’’ he said.
