President Tinubu, Vice President Shettima, APC Govs Attend NEC Meeting In Abuja

President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum have arrived at the Congress Hall of Transcorp Hilton in Abuja, the venue of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Addressing the 12th NEC of the party, the President affirmed that APC emerged victorious in the election and it is now time to fulfill the pledges of providing quality governance to Nigerian people.

The President insisted that the 2023 election was the best election in Nigeria’s history.

Visibly absent at the NEC meeting were former President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. The first National Chairman of the party, Bisi Akande, is however present.

The NEC meeting followed Wednesday’s session of the APC national caucus. The leadership crisis within the ruling party is expected to dominate the agenda at today’s NEC.

Mid-July, two members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) resigned. Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Senator Iyiola Omisore resigned as the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary respectively and Abubakar Kyari emerged as APC’s new National Chairman.
