The crisis in All Progressives Congress got messier as the Senator Abiola Ajimobi- led National Working Committee said former National Deputy Secretary Victor Giadom lacks the power to convene an emergency National Executive Council meeting of the party.Reacting to the development after a NWC meeting at the National Secretariat in Abuja, Hon. Hillard Etagbo Eta, who stood in for Senator Ajimobi, the acting National chairman, said Giadom lacks the locus to call such a meeting.

Citing Article 25B of the APC Constitution which states the conditions for summoning a NEC meeting, Eta said; “The National Executive Committee shall meet every quarter and or at any time decided by the National Chairman or at the request made in writing by at least two-thirds of the members of the National Executive Committee provided that not less than fourteen days’ notice is given for the meeting to be summoned.

“Without prejudice to Article 25 of this Constitution, the National Working Committee may summon an emergency National Executive Committee meeting at any time, provided that at least seven days’ notice of the meeting shall be given to all those entitled to attend”.“It is not right to refer to 17 members, with 15 of them physically present and two who met with us virtually as a faction. This is the National Working Committee NWC of the APC in Nigeria.

The notice by Giadom reads: “I Chief Victor Giadom, having been duly authorized by Court Order to Act as National Chairman of our great party and to preside over all meetings of the NWC and NEC hereby and with the consent of the President Muhammadu Buhari, reconvene the NEC meeting that was earlier billed to hold on the 17th of March, 2020, but was postponed. The reconvened meeting shall hold on Thursday, June 25th, 2020.

“In keeping strictly to the COVID-19 Guidelines, the postponed NEC shall hold by virtual means. The codes would be sent by text to the phone numbers of all NEC he members.”
