President Muhammadu Buhari has declared the tenure extension of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman and other elected state officials as illegal.

The President made this known on Tuesday while addressing members of the National Executive Committee of the Party in Abuja.

He explained that after due consultation, it had become imperative to overturn the resolution of the February 27 NEC, which allowed the extension of the tenure of Mr Odigie-Oyegun by one year on the ground that it contravened Article 17 Sub-section 1 of the Party constitution which recommends a 4-year tenure for all elected officials.

President Buhari further stated that the tenure extension contravened the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which requires elected officials to present themselves for re-election after four years.

He, therefore, stressed the need for members to avoid constitutional infractions which could make the Party vulnerable to litigations.

Are you still supporting HISTORY(TINUBU)??

Nooooooooooo! This would be too much for me to bear as a flatheaded Heeeebow Jhew. It means I can not use my empty Jewish Wawa head to mock Jagaban anymore.

May chukwu alewa dawadawa console me over this great loss of my wailing avenue.

They will hold a convention, elect new officials and from there seal Tnubu's irrelevance forever

mumu talk

Thank you Mr. President. This is the Buhari that we voted for. A man who will stand on the side of truth no matter whose ox is gored. The so called extension was illegal, undemocratic, not in good faith and absolutely unnecessary. If the party constitution says that the NEC should serve for a period of four years, then four years it is. Whoever still wants to continue in office should be ready to stand for another election and win the votes of party members. Giving silly excuses to illegally extend the tenure of party executives is against the spirit of internal democracy and also a violation of the rights of party members to contest for party positions and elect people into party offices. APC is not PDP, they must set a good example when it comes to internal party democracy.

Which is more worrisome

Buhari the dullard of daura


Or

APC the confusionists

Very shameful
You've become unconscionable.

The Buhari you voted for was the one that was looking the other way while his brothers are on killing spree.

I don't think your problem is tribal but personal

This is still a charade as Buhari was there in the NEC meeting when the extension was done.Beside his antecedents have always have a flair for illegality.
Fear of Tinubu.Lets watch the royal rumble btw Tinubu & Oyegun.

Pressident Buhari is just playing to the gallery.

He is right you know

Wetin consign flattie with APC?

I will like to see what Yahaya bello will say now as his master has taken a contrary view to the one he was boasting with

FeloniousFelon:

APC won't survive a national convention.

COW!

Where were you when Buhari with Oyegun carried out the illegality?

yemaldo:

This is not even about Tinubu. It is about doing the right thing, otherwise APC will go the way of PDP.
Remember that it is also the same Tinubu that insist that Buhari must go for primary elections when some Governors led by El Rufai were singing automatic ticket for the President.


This is about laying a solid foundation and doing the right thing.
Cutting corners, sometimes makes the journey longer..
Short cuts only leads to short gains.

Good news it means APC will split

Was PMB not there when they extended their tenure? Why did he kept mute then? Confusion everywhere

Leave the buffoon to be messing around...

All of you hailing Tinibu up & down seems not to understand politics. Very soon starting from today Governors will Alien with the party chieftain in thier various states to support anyone that will help make Tinibu more irrelevant.

It's a well known facts that governor's produces majority of people that votes for any State or National conventions. With this facts How many Governors supports Tinibu apart from Lagos?

How many Senators and house of reps that are aligible to vote on the day of convention supports Tinibu.

In coming days/months APC will humiliate TINIBU publicly.

Let the DRAMA Begins.

*Modifed*

Mind you Buhari and APC didn't make that comment to appease Tinubu. It is just because of legal problems they will face from any of thier party men or opposition party men.

Na today this one day don break
