BREAKING: Buhari Declares Oyegun, Others Ineligible To Run For APC Leadership Positions
President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and his team, are not eligible to seek re-election in the forthcoming congresses and national convention of the party.
The president spoke Monday in Abuja at the commencement of the emergency National Executive Committee, NEC meeting of the party.

He pointed out that based on the provision of Section 30 (1) (3), any officer currently serving and wants to seek re-election must resign their appointments 30 days before the election.
Buhari added that based on that provision, the current National Working Committee, NWC, and other officials across the states “are not eligible to run”.
He, however, said a waiver can be granted to members of the Oyegun led NWC who wish to seek reelection.
A statement granting the waiver should be issued by the party immediately if the party wishes to grant such waiver, Buhari stated.
