March 17, (THEWILL) – The All Progressives Congress (APC) has cancelled the proposed emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, scheduled for Thursday, March 17, 2022.
The decision to cancel the meeting may not be unconnected to the letter written by President Muhammadu Buhari, which directed Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni to return as the chairman of the caretaker committee.
Recall that the acting chairman of the Caretaker Committee and Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Bello, had summoned the emergency meeting.
The emergency meeting was supposed to ratify decisions taken in respect of the forthcoming national convention of the party.
However, in a late Wednesday statement, National Secretary of the CECPC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, said the “purported APC NEC meeting” is now cancelled.
He said: “As directed by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning (CECPC) and Governor of Yobe State, H.E. Mai Mala Buni, a purported emergency meeting of the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) slated for Thursday, March 26, 2022 is hereby cancelled.”
“Despite the cancellation of the NEC meeting, the party would continue with its preparation for the national convention scheduled to be held on March 26″,he added.
