The National Executive Council meeting of the All Progressives Congress, which took place at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, has just ended at the national headquarters with President Muhammadu Buhari leaving before meeting came to an end.
In a brief chat with journalists after the meeting, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State said the meeting went peacefully, adding that those who had expected the meeting to end rancorously had been disappointed.
Oshiomhole said the fact that President Buhari left Aso Rock to attend the meeting at the party’s secretariat was an indication of the party’s supremacy. He also insisted that the outcome of the meeting was a pointer that the APC was coming out of its crisis stronger.
The NEC meeting is part of the efforts by the leadership of the party to solve the crisis that has been rocking it since the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon. Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively.
However, two frontline leaders of the party, its National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former Interim Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, were conspicuously absent from the meeting.
