The forum of non-National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed the position of the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to extend the tenure of the Party’s executives at all levels.
Rising from a closed door meeting in Abuja Wednesday night, members of the forum who are also NEC members urged the Party to take disciplinary action against party members who have taken the party to court without exhausting internal party mechanism in line with the party constitution.
The resolutions are contained in a communiqué issued by the forum members comprising a founding member of the APC, Alh. Nasiru Danu and 17 others after the meeting.
The Communiqué reads: “The Non-NWC members forum of the ruling Party-APC at her meeting today the 21st March, 2018 passed the following resolutions:
Re-affirmed position taken by NEC at the last NEC meeting of February 27, 2018 principally on the tenure extension to its Party Officers at all levels.
“Urge the NWC to take necessary disciplinary action in consonance with the Party constitution in respect of those who sued the Party without exhausting the Party internal mechanism in respect of their complaints or grievances as contained in our Party constitution”.
Also, “Recall that at the end of the 5th meeting of the APC NEC meeting, it was generally agreed by members to extend the tenure of all elected and appointed officers of the Party in the 36 states, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the national level”.
The current tenure of the party leadership terminates in June 30, 2018.
The forum advised that by this decision, all affected officers will continue in acting capacity for another period of 12 months after the expiration of their current term.
