The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) met on Friday and ratified the completion of the composition of membership of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT).
Following its ratification, the BoT can start meeting.
The party NEC also passed a vote of confidence on the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
Lai Mohammed, the party spokesman who addressed the press after the meeting, said that the NEC meeting had provided an enabling environment to resolve the logjam occasioned by leadership positions in the National Assembly.
Consequently, Mohammed said that the governors elected on the APC platform would meet Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara in “a further attempt to find a lasting solution”. His statement implies that despite the meeting of the NEC today, the situation has still not been resolved. A pointer to that is the fact that the vice president Yemi Osinbajo, the national leader, Bola Tinubu, and the former party chairman, Bisi Akande, were absent at the meeting.
Mohammed who said he did not want to dwell on the national assembly issue, disclosed that the party agreed on two things. Firstly, “the supremacy of the party” and the need for the government to work and deliver its campaign promises as encapsulated in the change that the APC promised.
