President Muhammadu Buhari has been asked to shed his toga
of aloofness from the crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress by calling
an emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee.
Making the call on Saturday was Mr Yekini Nabena, the Deputy
National Publicity Secretary of the party.
Nabena urged Buhari to call for the emergency meeting to
address the leadership crisis.
The Party’s National Working Committee (NWC), has been
divided into factions, each claiming leadership of the party.
The crisis followed the Appeal Court ruling affirming the
suspension of Mr Adams Oshiomhole as the party’s National Chairman.
The initial suspension was made by a High Court in Abuja on
4 March.
Nabena urged the President to convene NEC emergency meeting
to deliberate on consolidating the APC’s control of Edo and Ondo States ahead
of the forthcoming governorship elections in the states.
“At least four people are laying claim to the chairmanship
of the APC following the court-ordered suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
“All manner of Court cases and orders are flying around
contesting party decisions and National Working Committee’s position.
“Factions are festering at the national level and many
states. The APC is clearly at a tipping point.
“The several court cases and orders over the national
leadership of the party has put the party in a standstill and is a legal threat
to forthcoming elections in Edo and Ondo States.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is the leader of the party and
it has become imperative for him to convene an emergency meeting of the
National Executive Committee.
“This is to find solutions to the crisis and chart a way
forward
