Ajimobi, Ganduje, Okorocha meet state APC chairs to stop Oyegun
There are strong indications that state chairmen of the All Progressives Congress have made a U-turn on their initial position that members of the party’s National Working Committee should be given a one-year tenure extension.
SUNDAY PUNCH gathered on Saturday that state governors had already reached out to the APC chairmen in their states to back the decision they reached with President Muhammadu Buhari on the need to hold congresses where new party officials would be elected.
The state chairmen and other officials, who are members of the National Executive Committee, started arriving in Abuja on Friday evening ahead of Monday’s NEC meeting.
It was learnt that the governors had assured the state chairmen and their officials that their positions were not under threat by the decision not to elongate the tenure of the leaders of the party at all levels.
