The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) has approved a six-month extension for the Mai Mala Buni-led
Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the NEC also approved the
dissolution of the party structures at the ward, state, and national
levels.
Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufa’i who confirmed these developments
when he briefed State House correspondents on the outcome of the
meeting, said the NEC also approved the expulsion of former National
Vice Chairman of the party in the South-South, Ntufam Hilliard-Eta.
He explained that Hilliard-Eta was dismissed from the party for refusing
to withdraw the court case he instituted against the caretaker
committee.
El-Rufa’i, who briefed the correspondents alongside Governor Hope
Uzodinma of Imo, and his Ondo counterpart, Rotimi Akeredolu, condemned
the recent call for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari by the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over security challenges in
some parts of the country. (NAN)
