Barely one week to the National Caucus and the National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and governors under the platform of the ruling party, Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) are to meet (Tuesday).
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) had reported that the Caucus and NEC meetings is slated for July 10th and 11th respectively.
A source at the party secretariat said the meeting was a move by the leadership of the NWC to get the buying-in of the governors elected under the platform of the party of the agenda for the planned Caucus and NEC meetings..
According to the source, the meeting is aimed at getting members of the PGF, a critical organ of the party to endorse yet to be approved audit report submitted to the NWC by an external audit firm engaged by Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led NWC.
It was learnt that the approval of the audit report suffered a hitch during the last NWC meeting when it was presented, as members of the committee demanded that the Secretariat ought to have provided them with copies of the report before the meeting to enable proper deliberation on the report before it’s approval for presentation at the NEC meeting.
The NWC is required by the APC Constitution to present the party’s audit report to the highest decision-making organ (NEC) of the party at its meeting.
Another reliable source Said that the meeting may also look into the intra-leadership crisis within the NWC, especially the controversy between the APC National Vice Chairman (North West), Salihu Lukman and the National Chairman Abdullahi Adamu and National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore over allegations of breaching constitutional provisions.
The national publicity secretary of the party Felix Morka also confirmed the meeting.
“Yes, the meeting between PGF and NWC is scheduled to be held on Tuesday July 4, 2023,” Morka said.
