Following the decision by all State Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support the call by President Muhammadu Buhari for the conduct of congresses and conventions to facilitate the emergence of new leadership for the party across all levels, members of the current National Working Committee of the party are moving their personal belongings from their offices at the National Secretariat, Abuja.
A staff at the APC Secretariat confirmed to Vigil360 that the decision was to avoid embarrassment, more so that no one knows the decision that would be reached at the next National Executive Council meeting billed to take place next week.
Earlier, Daily Sun had quoted a staff as saying “This week is the only chance for the NWC members to tidy up their offices since they are not sure of returning. Once NEC sets up convention committee, the responsibilities of the NWC will be reduced to ceremonial.
“Don’t forget that they have just a few months to operate here before some of them re-contesting would compulsorily resign as stipulated by the party constitution.
“So, they technically have few months to function effectively and they don’t want to be reduced to inconsequential level once the emergency NEC meeting agrees on congresses and convention. It is obvious that they don’t want any embarrassment.”
