APC CRISIS: National Caucus Meets Today


The national caucus of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, will meet on Monday and Tuesday at the presidential villa, Abuja ahead of tomorrow’s National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting, to find solutions to lingering crisis within the party.
According to Daily Trust, the meeting would receive interim report from Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led committee on “consultation, reconciliation and confidence-building.”
The meeting would also ratify a comprehensive programme with dates on Continuous Nationwide Membership Registration Exercise, Ward Congresses, Local Government Area Congresses, State Congresses and National Convention which was brought to the attention of the National Caucus at the October 31, 2017 meeting.
Last year, the APC secretariat had told the caucus that the tenure of all officers elected into the Ward, Local Government, State and National organs of the party would be expiring in the second quarter of 2018 in line with the provisions of Article 17 (1) of the party’s constitution.
In a memo, the party secretariat told the caucus that it had begun preparations for the conduct of Congresses and National Convention in line with the provisions of the party’s constitution.
The APC national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, had said on January 6 this year that the meetings of National Caucus and NEC would hold to endorse the timetable for congresses and national convention.
Oyegun added that the congresses and convention would hold between January and June this year.
The report of Governor Nasir El-Rufai Committee on True Federalism was also expected to be considered at the meeting.
