THE National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that the Kogi State Working Committee of the party led by Alhaji Haddy Ametuo, remains its recognised executive committee.
Mallam Bolaji Abudullahi, National Publicity Secretary of the party, made this known in a statement on Friday in Abuja, while reacting to a report which alleged that the Ametuo-led executive had been suspended.
´´Our attention has been drawn to a story on a national television that the State Executive Committee (SEC) of the APC in Kogi has been suspended.
´´We want to state that this action does not emanate from the NWC of the party or any of its organs so empowered to do so,´´ the statement said.
While admitting that there were issues within the party´s Kogi Chapter, the statement said the APC NWC had empowered a committee to investigate the issues and make recommendations.
According to it, the party´s NWC has not been appropriately briefed on the outcome of the committee’s work and therefore has not taken any decision.
It affirmed that whether in Kogi or elsewhere, the NWC would ensure that justice was done to all concerned and would be guided by the party´s constitution in the interest of all.
´´At the moment, we believe this action, purportedly sacking the Kogi executive is prejudicial and incongruous with the party’s desires for reconciliation.
´´We enjoin all party members at all levels to desist from taking unilateral actions that are likely to further jeopardise the on-going peace process,” the statement stressed. (NAN)
