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.
