The All
Progressives Congress (APC) has disowned President Muhammadu Buhari over his
call for the annulment of Chief John Oyegun’s tenure extension as National
Chairman of the party.
President
Buhari, it would be recalled, had advised the ruling APC to nullify the
extension of tenure for the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
“On
my own part, I have taken some time to review and seek advice on the resolution
and what I have found is that it contravenes our party constitution and the
constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the president had said at the
National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the
party that held on Tuesday.
But
speaking to journalists after the NEC meeting, National Publicity Secretary of
the APC, Abdullahi Bolaji, said the president was entitled to his opinion.
“You
know that any issue that goes to court is sub-judicial. Then, that also
presented its own complications so the
NEC decided to set up a small team that will advise the party on the way
forward,” he said.
“There is a technical committee
that is looking at it.
“At
the moment, there is no decision taken. So, the position of NEC still stands
from the last meeting. That position may change tomorrow but
as it is today, that is the position of NEC,” said Bolaji.
