National Executive Committee of the All
Nigeria Peoples Party on Thursday adopted
its merger Committee report presented by
former Kano State Governor Mallam Ibrahim
Shekarau.
The decision was closely followed by the
constitution of a 23-member convention
planning committee to be chaired by the
Zamfara State Governor, Abdullaziz Yari.
This was contained in a communiqué
signed by the Party's National Publicity
Secretary, Chief Emma Eneukwu, at the end
of the party's NEC meeting in Abuja.
Other decisions reached at the meeting
included the expulsion of a member of the
party, who wrote the Independent National
Electoral Commission to dissociate the party
from the proposed merger with other
parties to form the All Progressives
Congress.
The NEC has accepted the merger report
presented by Shekarau.
It read, "The All Nigeria Peoples Party has
expelled Mallam Isah Bala, the Bwari Area
Council ANPP member, who alleged that ACN
is hijacking the merger of oppositions while
advising the party to pull out of the APC, for
contravening party rules and regulations as
stipulated in ARTICLE 24; 1, SUB-SECTION 1
and 2 of the 2006 Constitution, reviewed
edition.
"This was one of the resolutions of the
National Executive Committee of the ANPP
which met today at the party's national
secretariat; the NEC adopted the
recommendation of the National Working
Committee to suspend and expel the errant
member, Mallam Bala. Other items on the
communiqué from the NEC are as follows:
"The ANPP NEC has approved and adopted
the establishment of its special/Diaspora
branches in USA, Togo, Benin Republic, and
Ghana.
"The ANPP NEC has adopted the
recommendations of National Working
Committee and replaced Chief John Oyegun,
who resigned as the Deputy National
Chairman, South, with Mr. Solomon Edevbiri
of Edo State as the new Deputy National
Chairman, South."
Earlier, National Chairman of the party, Dr.
Ogbonaya Onu, in an address, described the
day as historic because Nigerians were
waiting to hear whether the party was
willing to join other progressives to form a
bigger, stronger political party.
Onu said, "The merger we seek with other
opposition political parties is for the sake of
our country.
"I believe the ANPP should be part of efforts
made by committed democrats and resolute
patriots to provide Nigerians with a broad,
strong and a united alternative political Party
that can return power to our people and
redefine the role of politics in our
development process."

PDP's efforts yet FRUSTRATED again.
