Oyegun’s Extension: APC Overlooked Its Looming Crisis – Shehu Sani

In the wake of the extension of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, Shehu Sani, Senator representing Kaduna Central, says the party was evading its impending collusions.

Sani in a Facebook post on Tuesday, said the APC and its stakeholders used a “Helicopter to fly over prevailing contretemps”.

The Senator’s reaction comes hours after The APC National Executive Committee approved a one-year extension of the tenure of all its National Working Committee.

The decision was taken on Tuesday at the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the APC Secretariat in Abuja.

Speaking at the end of the NEC meeting, Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi state, said the extension would take effect from June 30.

“The NEC met today and major decisions in line with the constitution of the party. We all aware that the tenure of current NWC and the executive members of this party both elected and appointed come to an end June this year,” he said.

“Considering the time left for the party to conduct all the congresses and conventions and considering that our leader Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been charged with the responsibility of reconciling all aggrieved members of our party, we cannot afford to approach the general election with more disputes and crises adding that party have decided on line with article 13 which empowers the NEC to carry out the functions of its convention and the NEC has decided to extend the tenure of current NWC other executive committees at various levels for another 12months starting from June 30th.”
