The ongoing emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the tenure of the Yobe governor Mai Buni led National Caretaker Committee until June 30, 2020.

Igbere TV recalls that the Buni led Caretaker Committee was set up to oversee the affairs of the Party following the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole led National Working Committee (NWC). The committee had the mandate to reconcile aggrieved members and conduct national convention within six months.

Following its failure to announce plans for the convention, as the six-month tenure comes to an end December, there were clamours for the Committee members to resign or their tenures extended.

On Tuesday, however, the APC NEC announced the extension of the Caretaker Committee tenure to enable it meet up with its responsibilities of conducting a convention.

Earlier, the NEC announced the dissolution of all the Local Government and States' chapters of the party across the 36 states and the FCT.

The meeting also dissolved structures of the party at the zonal levels including the South South, South East, South West, North East, North West and North Central.

The meeting which is still ongoing is taking place at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja and attended by President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Professor Yemi Osinbanjo.

Others in attendance include members of the Mai Buni led National Caretaker Committee, Governors elected under the party platform. States chairmen of the party, zonal leaders and other members of the NEC are attending virtually.

Following his suspension from office as Chief of Staff to the Abia state governor, Dr ACB Agbazuere has blamed unnamed "enemies" as being responsible for his ordeal, Igbere TV reports.

This is even as Agbazuere who was suspended after he was caught on camera 'spraying' money on a popular clergyman at the Abia Government House, bragged that there was no cause for alarm.

A source close to the chief of staff office, who would not want to be mentioned, told Igbere TV that Agbazure spoke while addressing a circle of friends in his Office after the news of his sack got to him.

“Agbazuere described himself as a child of light who will always defeat darkness,” the source, who was among the "friends" addressed said.

“It is a matter of time, no cause for alarm, I will return [to my position], I have been assured of that,” our source quoted Agbazuere as saying.

Meanwhile, Nigerians have called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the Abia governor’s Chief of Staff “for abusing the naira note”, a symbol of the country's sovereignty.

Despite public outcry and wide condemnation, nothing much has been done with both management of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and authorities of the Nigerian Police Force keeping mum.

According to the CBN Act, spraying of Naira notes amounts to “abusing the country’s symbol of sovereignty.” The CBN had equally warned that abusing and spraying of Naira notes may get you a jail term.

Section 21 of the CBN Act 2007 prescribes “imprisonment for a term not less than six months or to a fine not less than N50,000 or to both such fine and imprisonment” for anyone guilty of “spraying of, dancing or matching on the Naira or any note issued by the Bank during social occasions”.

The Ohaneze Ndigbo has waded into the lingering feud between the Ebonyi State Governor, Engr. Dave Umahi and a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen Anyim Pius Anyim.

In a statement made available to Igbere TV on Sunday, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation announced the formation of a three member committee to look into the matter.

Igbere TV reports that the committee members include, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Igwe Alfred Achebe and Sen. Ken Nnamani.

President General of Ohaneze, Chief Nnia Nwodo described as unfortunate media war by the two Igbo Leaders in the past weeks, and charged the committee to stop at nothing to reconcile them.

On the forthcoming General election of the organisation slated for January 10, 2021, Nwodo announced electoral committee saddled with the responsibility of conducting elections into various offices.

He appealed to Ndigbo to be diplomatic in all forms of agitations for the sake of national unity.

Meanwhile, the Governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodinma has urged the Ohaneze technical committee to come up with implementable proposals that will benefit Igbos at home and in diaspora and assured that Imo whose turn it is to produce next President General will ensure that a credible candidate emerges.

He said the South East Governors have approved a parting gift of a Prado jeep to Chief Nnia Nwodo, and Igwe Alfred Achebe, the outgoing President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo and outgoing Chairman of South East Traditional Rulers council respectively.
