» Buhari shocks APC NEC, calls for cancellation of tenure extension for Oyegun, other party officials
President
Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday shocked members of the National Executive
Committee (NEC) of his party when he called for the cancellation of
tenure extension for party officials.
The
APC had in its NEC meeting on February 28 extended the tenure of members
of National Working Committee (NWC) led by John Odigie-Oyegun by one
year.
The
decision did not go down well with a national leader of the party, Bola
Tinubu, who had been in conflict with the national chairman of the
party.
Speaking
shortly before the commencement of NEC meeting Tuesday, Mr. Buhari told
a packed hall at the APC national secretariat to consider cancelling
the tenure extension decision because “it is against the party
constitution and the Nigerian constitution.”
He therefore, presented the matter “for discussion” at the meeting.
Mr. Buhari said he is having a change of heart because he doesn’t want the party’s activities to be faulted by any court of law.
NEC members were shocked because the issue of tenure extension is not in the agenda circulated to members.
It was
also not discussed at the national caucus meeting which held at the
Presidential Villa Monday night, Mr. Odigie-Oyegun had said.
Caucus meetings are precursor to what would be discussed at NEC.
