All Progressives Congress moves to expand national executive council membership

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has commenced move to expand the membership of its National Executive Committee (NEC) to accommodate more members.

Penpushing reports that spokesperson of the party, Felix Morka, made this known on Wednesday at a press conference after the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at the party’s secretariat in Abuja.

The All Progressives Congress (APCC) spokesperson explained that a seven-member committee led by the Governor of Yobe State, Mala Buni, has been raised to determine the criteria for bringing new members into the organ.

Penpushing further reports that Morka said the motion was raised at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, and the committee was set up to look into it, adding that the committee equally passed vote of confidence on President Bola Tinubu’s leadership of the country and Abdullahi Ganduje’s steering of the party.

“NEC also passed a vote of confidence on our National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, for the remarkable record of successes that he has led the party to attain. Successes, not just in terms of electoral victory…but, more importantly, in holding the party together and forging opportunities for members of the party to dialogue and engage with each other and express themselves and ensure that we operate more cordially than some of our competition in the opposition, who clearly continue to suffer from self-intelligence. That vote of confidence was also extended to the entire National Working Committee, as led by Dr Ganduje, our national chairman’, he stated

Penpushing also reports that Morka added that the National Executive Council (NEC) in the same vein approved the party’s audited financial statements and the budgets as presented to the meeting.

The National Executive Council (NEC) meeting was the first under President Tinubu, who assumed office on the party’s platform in May 2023, and was attended by the president, his deputy, Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Abbas Tajudeen.

Penpushing reports that former President Muhammadu Buhari and the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, were absent from the meeting under excuses that they got the invitation late.
