Buhari, APC governors shop for team to work with Oshiomhole
The process of assembling a credible and formidable National Working Committee (NWC) to work with ex-Governor Adams Oshiomhole as the new National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is gathering steam, according to indications yesterday.
Actively involved in the process are President Muhammadu Buhari, governors elected on the platform of the party and other leaders.
Buhari, it was gathered, had on Tuesday night sent APC governors to the current Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to prevail on him to drop his planned return for a second term.
The presidency had been jolted by the incident at the South-South APC meeting in Benin where Oyegun loyalists had tried to fight back.
Well placed party sources said the return of Oyegun for a second term was already foreclosed by Buhari and his strategists.
