President Muhammadu Buhari
reportedly walked out of the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, held at the party’s secretariat in Abuja on
Friday.
National Chairman of the party,
Adams Oshiomhole also got a vote of confidence and survived the impeachment
threat hanging over his head, according to Sun.
President Buhari was reported to
have walked out of the meeting when it became rowdy.
The meeting, which was the
shortest ever, appeared tensed when anti and pro-Oshiomhole protesters grounded
the activities along the road leading to the party’s national secretariat,
resulting in security agents firing teargas to disperse the protesters.
Every effort to stop the Edo
State chairman of the party, Anslem Ojezua, from entering the meeting venue was
thwarted by other chairmen that complained and threatened to walk out of the
meeting thereby making the venue more uncomfortable for the President.
However, no decision was taken on
the suspended members of the party like the immediate past governors of Imo and
Ogun states, Rochas Okorocha and Ibikunle Amosun among others who were
incidentally absent at the meeting.
It was also revealed during the meeting
that the shortfall in the funds generated to finance the 2019 presidential
election almost denied President Muhammadu Buhari re-election.
Speaking at the NEC meeting,
Oshiomhole disclosed that they had to frantically source for funds a few days
to the election to prosecute the poll.
