Bashiru notes that the APC NEC meeting, which is scheduled for September 11 and 12, is not intended to change the party’s leadership.
According to The Guardian, the APC national secretary made this statement during Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state’s courtesy visit to the party’s national secretariat in Abuja on Friday, August 30.
He explained that the meetings are routine and established under Article 11 of the party’s Constitution. He added that they are meant to present stewardship and audit reports, not to elect new leaders.
Basiru expressed frustration that some people are twisting the purpose of the meetings. He assured that the meetings are meant to discuss the party’s progress and future plans.
His statement reads in part:
For his part, the national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, welcomed Governor Sule to the party’s secretariat. He expressed his desire for a strong party that supports the government and promotes internal democracy.
Governor Sule visited to pay his respects and encouraged Ganduje to remain focused, especially with the upcoming Edo and Ondo state governorship elections.
