Buhari Summons APC NWC Meeting (See Why)

Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president on Wednesday invited the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole and the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) for a meeting.

Naija News understands that the meeting might not be unconnected to the review of the outcome of the 2019 polls and how to make amends where necessary to put the party in better shape.

This online news platform understands that the forthcoming Bayelsa and Kogi governorship elections form part of the discussion of the meeting.

The meeting is expected to hold at noon between Buhari and APC leaders at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

A source revealed in a statement obtained by Naija News that tension-related issues in the party may be put on the front burner to avoid cracks in APC and strengthen the party.

A source while speaking with The Nation on condition of anonymity said; “The meeting will review the outcome of the elections. It is going to be a stock-taking session. We will look at our areas of strength and weaknesses to chart the way forward.

“And it is not yet over because we have elections coming up in November in Bayelsa and Kogi states. This is a timely invitation by the President.

“All issues in the party will be considered with the President, especially why certain things happened and the decisions taken. Since Oshiomhole came on board, he has placed premium on discipline and party supremacy.

“Some decisions of the APC leadership have not gone well with a few leaders but the President will have firsthand knowledge and we will all discuss some of these issues.”
