SOME members of the National Executive Council, NEC, of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, want President Muhammadu Buhari to mandate the leadership of the party to call for a NEC meeting.

The group, in a latter made available to journalists on Sunday, April 9, and signed by Omolayo Akintola, a national ex-officio, South-West coordinator, warned that said if nothing was done quickly by the president the situation could lead to “preventable, avoidable and unnecessary intra-party cracks that the present situation might generate.”

Besides, the body said that it was equally displeased with the way and manner the party affairs were being handled solely by the NWC without any input from the NEC from which NWC derived its powers.

“Also to be noted for appropriate advice is the exclusion of sizeable number of federating states from scheme of things within the party, because many states are not presently represented by party officers on the current National Working Committee; hence, the need to be having regular NEC meetings pending the much awaited amendment to the present party constitution.

“We, therefore, deemed it necessary putting this letter across for your timely actions to save our great party from preventable, avoidable and unnecessary intra-party/in-house cracks that the present situation might generate,” the NEC letter said in part.

The APC NEC is made of officials who are not members of the national working committee, NWC.
