JUST IN: APC NEC Extends Tenure Of Buni-led Caretaker Committee By Six Months, Dissolves All Party Organs At State Level

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the tenure of Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker/extraordinary national convention planning committee by six months.

The tenure extension was announced after a meeting of the APC National Executive Council (NEC) held in Abuja, on Tuesday.

Also at the meeting, the ruling party’s NEC expelled Hilliard Eta, former national vice-chairman of the party in the south-south, for refusing to withdraw a court case instituted against the caretaker committee.

In addition, the APC NEC dissolved all its party organs at polling units, wards, local governments, states and zonal levels and such members to constitute caretaker committees.

Other resolution at the APC NEC meeting was the directive that new members of the ruling party be granted waivers so they can contest for elections without having to wait for two years which was done previously.
