Former Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, South-South, Hilliard Etta has mocked President Muhammadu Buhari and other party members who attended the National Executive Committee, NEC, where he was purportedly expelled from the party.
The APC had on Tuesday expelled Etta for violating the
National Executive Committee’s instruction.
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, told State House
correspondents at the end of the meeting that the party approved the expulsion
of Etta for his failure to withdraw the court case instituted against the
caretaker committee.
Etta had sued the APC caretaker’s committee after the
dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole-led NEC six months ago.
But reacting to his purported suspension on Tuesday, Etta
said he was already in court, saying that the lawyers among them should have
told them that they could not make that pronouncement since he was in Court.
According to him, their action was a nullity because it was
not even the NEC of the party that met.
He said their so-called acting national secretary had no
power to convene NEC.
“Without prejudice to my pending matter in court, I wish to
state that you cannot build something on nothing, unless the court rules
otherwise, even the NEC meeting of June 25, was illegal as such all decisions
taken since them were built on illegalities,” he told The Punch.
