The Adams Oshiomhole-led national working committee (NWC) of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been dissolved.
Victor Giadom, acting national chairman of the party,
announced the development at the national executive council (NEC) meeting of
the party at the state house in Abuja.
Mai-Mala Buni, governor of Yobe state, was named chairman of
the caretaker/extra-ordinary convention committee while the governors of Osun
and Niger were appointed as members.
He was immediately sworn in by Abubakar Malami,
attorney-general of the federation (AGF).
But the council ratified all decisions taken regarding the
Edo governorship primary election.
The APC was thrown into a leadership crisis after the court
appeal upheld the suspension of Oshiomhole as the national chairman of the
party.
Gaidom declared himself as acting national chairman but the
NWC loyal to Oshiomhole called him an impostor and tussled with him over the
leadership of the party.
But Buhari threw his weight behind Gaidom — an action which
rankled the NWC.
The Oshiomhole-led NWC had announced it would boycott the
meeting, describing the president’s decision to support Gaidom as ill-advised.
