President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, dealt the last blow to Oshiomhole’s hope of victory when he suddenly indicated that he would participate in today’s National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja.
Making the position known in a discussion with state House correspondents, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Public Affairs, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the President would attend the NEC meeting convened by Giadom for today. Giadom, in the notice of the NEC meeting, explained that he was acting “on behalf of the National Working Committee , having been duly authorised by Court Order to act as National Chairman and to preside over all meetings of the NWC and NEC, hereby reconvene the NEC meeting that was earlier billed to hold on March 17, 2020, but was postponed.”
In a resolution, the founding members of the Legacy Parties, stated: “We the representatives of founding members of the Legacy Parties that merged to form our great party, the All Progressives Congress , welcome the Reconvened National Executive Committee meeting billed for Thursday 25th June, 2020; with Open-Arms as a saving grace and APC’s Doctrine of Necessity.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, may we, for emphasis, state that our rating of the reconvened National Executive Committee meeting as Doctrine of Necessity is that going by Article, 13.1 of APC’s Constitution, the NEC is the principal executive body of our party. Amid fears that some key leaders of the party, including Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and his supporters might not participate in the meeting, Lukman disclosed that the virtual NEC parley “has the support of President Muhammadu Buhari” and billed to hold today at the presidential villa, Abuja.
“These are critical questions now that with the approval of President Buhari, a meeting of National Executive Committee has been called. Would these so-called leaders acting as blacklegs seek to undermine the moral authority of the President as the leader of the party? His words: “We got information that they are going to send thugs from Port Harcourt, they are coming here to burn the Secretariat and make it look like the National Working Committee instigated a fire incident, so that the Secretariat will be burnt down and then, they will give the impression that it is the NWC that is burning down the Secretariat because they don’t want Victor Giadom to come in.
