Sadare, however, noted that the party has all it takes to handle such matters, adding that the APC is a ruling party and "internal wrangling is a normal phenomenon".

The party loyalist stated thus:

"APC is a democratic institution where eerie silence is not expected at a time like this. It is the ruling party and when you consider the population of stakeholders and their diverse interests, you would understand that what you call internal wranglings within its fold is a normal phenomenon.

"However, I can assure you that the party has potent machinery and mechanism with which it can manage the so-called crisis and the relevant stakeholders are up to the task. As every crisis raises its ugly head, it would be tackled headlong and the party would become stronger for it."
