The Senator Abiola Ajimobi-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari was blackmailed or ill-advised into accepting to attend the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting slated for tomorrow.

The party’s National Vice Chairman, South-South, Hilliard Eta, said this in a statement on Wednesday signed the acting National Secretary, Arc. Waziri Bulama, after a meeting at the party’s national secretariat.

He added that the NWC will not be attending Thursday’s NEC meeting, describing it as illegal. The NWC members stated this on Wednesday night after a meeting at the national secretariat of the party.

The statement reads; “We wish to unequivocally state that members of the National Working Committee NWC believe that the President was offered wrong advice or blackmailed into lending his weighty office to the illegality of the National Executive Committee meeting purportedly convened by one Victor Giadom on 25th June, 2020.

“We hereby respectfully implore Mr. President to kindly avail himself with facts of the matter regarding the impasse presently experienced by the Party so as to guide him in his assessment of the matter because we are sure that the President if properly advised, would come to the conclusion that the meeting convened by Chief Victor Giadom bothers on illegality and criminality.

“The National Working Committee NWC regrets to turn down the invitation to the illegal and unconstitutional National Executive Committee NEC convened by Chief Victor Giadom. “We believe that attending such a meeting will amount to embracing illegalities and turning a blind eye to the infractions on the Constitution of our great Party”.

Which of the Ajimobi is it the one in the United State of Coma or the one on life support programme for sustainable living

ORIENTATION101:
Glad the NWC members should stayed away, i'm sure the apc Nass caucus too will stay away, majority of the state party chairmen will also stay away, pro oshomole Governors too will stay away. Fayemi and his gangs can go ahead, Whatever decision they take camp can be easily reversed by supreme court. Because it contravenes the party constitution. I'm surprised buhari yield to their blackmail.

Bodexman:


Buhari been acting like a pushover.

Didn't he understand what is going on around him?

Very soon an impeachment notice will be served on him and he'll sign it before he realize he's about to be sacked.

I hope you know the NWC can easily be dissolved if all those people stay away. Besides the same SC is led by a Tanko who was put there by who again?
