There is uncertainty in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the resumption of office of the newly elected National Working Committee (NWC) memebers of the party led by Senator Adamu Abdullahi, former Nasarawa State governor.

After several postponements, the APC last weekend held its elective national convention from March 26 to March 27 ahead of the 2023 general elections at Eagles Square in Abuja. At the end of the exercise, 77 national officers emerged, with Abdullahi Adamu becoming the national chairman of the party while Senator Iyiola Omisore was elected as the national secretary.

Majority of them were elected through a consensus list adopted by President Muhammadu Buhari, governors and other leaders of the party.

The chairman of the Convention Election Committee, Governor Badaru Abubakar, said of the 36 offices in the NWC, only five were contested while the rest emerged through consensus.

The newly elected executives took their oath of office with President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and leaders and of the party in attendance and were immediately sworn-in. Adamu in his remarks after being sworn in, pledged to entrench internal democracy in the party. He said, “The eyes of the nation are on us. The eyes of Africa are on us.

The eyes of the world are on us. This is a historic moment. There is no room for false steps. Our first step is to make our party the bastion of internal democracy.

If a party is not internally democratic, it cannot offer the country true democracy. “It is time for us to do things differently.

When we quarrel, we open our flanks to our rival political parties that are only too eager to exploit them for their own benefit. I promise you, here and now, that we shall heal any wounds in our party. We shall effect lasting reconciliation among our , and we shall go into the next general elections as a strong and united party.”

However, it is not clear when the chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CEC), Governor Mai Mala Buni, will hand over to the new set of executives.

There are speculations that even though the new executives have been elected, the Buni-led Caretaker Committee will remain in office until first week of June when it will hand over the affairs of the party to the new leadership.

When ed by Daily Independent, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, the National Secretary of the caretaker committee, said it is the acting national chairman that can give details about when the Adamu-led executives will take over.

“It is the national chairman (Buni) who is in the best position to answer that question.

If you know, we had sleepless nights preparing for the convention. But I believe they can resume after taking the oath of office. The chairman will be able to provide further details”, he said.

To be very honest, this story does not interest me. I am just happy to be the first to comment.

It gives one kind of joy to be the first to comment on nairaland.

If you know, you know

Adamu in his remarks after being sworn in, pledged to entrench internal democracy in the party. He said, “The eyes of the nation are on us. The eyes of Africa are on us.

I love the @bolded but that's by the way. Need a content writer? Send me a D.M

Media and their foolish propaganda!

I just wish for a young, vibrant, intelligent and innovative man who has been in in the private sector to rule this country..

They call him Maye in hausa.. Meaning witch... The right man for the Job... God bless APC... And God bless Nigeria

Adamu is just figurehead. Buni will still oversee the presidential primary

They are trying to cover the bad news, while fire is burning us. People are dying in Southern Kaduna, hausa are dying, igbos are dying, yorubas are suffering, but it's not reaching them, so it's none of their business. They have other options when the country sinks, they fly abroad. Just like one idiot was already leaving Nigeria few hours after handing over.

The leaders of today that still want to be leaders of tomorrow. God forbid bad thing.

ok

how? foolish you. Didnt you read where Akpanu said only Buni can say when they will resume?

Rilwayne001:

nairavsdollars:
how? foolish you. Didnt you read where Akpanu said only Buni can say when they will resume?

He should then tell them to resume next year now. Nonsense.

These foolish media publications dish out propaganda by making a mountain out of a molehill. Making small issue look big in order to appease some gullible readers.

Please somebody who knows should suggest best Glo tarriff plan for calls ..I ed this berekette when I saw the advert on TV but it is not what I need

The so called large call amount gets easily exhausted. And it doesn't allow me sub for data of my choice ..MIT converts what I load to data and calls




Papers and fake stories ...they have been sworn in which other resumption date do they require when their tenure has already started counting

What's uncertain there, he should resume asap.

As expected

Buni should hold on to that office. Adamu needs a lot to learn from him

nairavsdollars:
how? foolish you. Didnt you read where Akpanu said only Buni can say when they will resume?

So, after swearing in Tinubu as president he will return to his house and wait for the out gone president to tell him when to resume ...is it doing you in your brain

We all know it's because of Ramadan. Fasting starting this week.

nairavsdollars:
how? foolish you. Didnt you read where Akpanu said only Buni can say when they will resume?

Are you an illiterate?.. The new NWC takes effect immediately after swearing in.

Tinubu zombies wetin con be the rush for new Chairman when buni you hate may be there till the consensus president emerge

Tinubu outplayed again

seunmsg:
Adamu and other elected NWC were sworn in immediately. There is no waiting for any handover again. They are now in charge of the party. The Buni led CEC no longer exist.

looser your opinion ends on Nairaland, credible insiders have told you buni can remains in charge till June "if he wants"

Adamu and other elected NWC were sworn in immediately. There is no waiting for any handover again. They are now in charge of the party. The Buni led CEC no longer exist.
