Conspiracy theorists and political watchers have gone to work to ascertain why National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was absent from the National Executive Council meeting of the party.

Another party chieftain and Tinubu’s close associate, Bisi Akande, was also absent.

But Tinubu’s absence is not that far-reaching, and from all indications- there are two possible reasons.
First Reason;

Although Tinubu is a national leader of the party, he has no elected position and he’s therefore not expected to be present at the NEC meeting, going by the constitution of the APC.

Despite the fact that no official reason was given or statement released to explain his absence, National Publicity Secretary of the party, Lai Mohammed, shed some light into the matter.

While addressing journalists after the meeting on Friday, Mohammed said he did not know why Tinubu was not present, but however, added that he was not a member of the party’s executive.

He said: “If you look at our constitution, neither of them are members of the excos of the party. I think it is at the discretion of the NWC or NEC whom to invite or not. I don’t want to fathom more reasons why they are not here but like I said neither of them are members of the exco of the party.”

Second reason;
