Exposed: Oyegun’s ‘hidden agenda’ on tenure extension
Rather than go away, tenure elongation is still haunting the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Some of its members yesterday cried out over the content of a memo presented to the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Monday by Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun.
They claimed that a portion of the memo was aimed at achieving tenure extension through the backdoor.
