EKO HOT BLOG reports that members of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress has charged APC leaders to call the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, to order.
This is as the NWC members accused Adamu of gagging and blackmailing them using the name of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Their appeal was contained in a statement jointly signed by the North-West National Vice Chairman, Mallam Salihu Lukman and his South-West counterpart, Isaacs Kekemeke, on Tuesday.
The statement read, “The National Chairman takes decisions unilaterally. When it suits him, he invokes the name of our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari to blackmail NWC members into accepting his decisions.
“We are compelled to make this statement following serial postponement of the scheduled National Working Committee meetings, twice within 48 hours.
“We are convinced beyond doubt that this is a deliberate attempt to foist a fait accompli on the NWC on fundamental issues that affect our great party.
“Within just two months in the lifespan of the new leadership of our great party, APC, led by His Excellency, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, the NWC, organ of the party vested with the power of managing the day-to-day affairs, including implementing decisions of the National Executive Committee (NEC), as provided in Article 13.4 of the APC Constitution, has been rendered redundant.”
Lukman stated that efforts made to get the Chairman to respect the authority of the NWC as elected by the March 26 National Convention proved difficult.
