Disagreement by One Chapter Cannot Invalidate Tenure Extension – APC

The National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC has advised the Lagos State chapter of the party to wait for another National Executive Committee meeting or the National Convention to make its case over NEC’s decision to extend the tenure of elected and appointed party officials.

National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, said this in a telephone interview with Punch, in Abuja, on Friday.

Abdullahi, who is also a member of the party’s National Working Committee, was reacting to questions on the decision of the Lagos State APC to reject the tenure extension granted to the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee of the APC and all elected and appointed party officials at all levels by the party’s NEC.

Abdullahi said, “Well, that’s democracy. A decision has been taken by the second highest decision making body of the party, which is the NEC.

“If one out of the several chapters of the party disagrees, it does not invalidate the decision.

“The chapter concerned can wait for another NEC meeting or the National Convention to make its case; this is the beauty of party democracy. We have internal mechanisms for resolving whatever issues that arise and we advise that these mechanisms be explored.”

Ogun, Ondo APC disagree with Lagos over tenure extension

The APC chapters in Ogun and Ondo states have declared support for the tenure elongation for Odigie-Oyegun and other party officials, as approved by its NEC.
