Concerned All Progressives Congress(APC) members stormed the party’s secretariat in Abuja, asking President Muhammad Buhari and the governors to urgently dissolve the National Working Committee (NWC).
The placard carrying party members complained that the NWC failed to manage the fortunes of the party.
Addressing newsmen the leader of the group, Comrade Okpokwu Ogenyi said the present NWC has caused the party to loose seven (7) States to the opposition.
According to Ogenyi, APC had twenty four (24) Governors before the present NWC but now the party has eighteen (18) Governors.
“Just yesterday, the Deputy Governor of Ondo state has just left us and joined the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Are we making progress or going backwardness? Today, we have four individuals who are members of the National Working Committee parading themselves as Acting National Chairmen of our Party, what a dance of shame! We are being ridicule on daily bases. The same Working Committee caused the Party not to feature candidates in Zamfara and Rivers states in the 2019 general elections,” he added.
While calling on the highest decision making body, the National Executive Committee (NEC) to immediately call for a meeting, Ogenyi also demanded that the NWC should be dissolve.
“We also call on President Muhammadu Buhari whose integrity the Party is still surviving, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu the National Leader of our great Party, the President of the Senate, Senator Ahmed Lawan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajablamila to support the dissolution of the present National Working Committee if we must move on as a party.
“We wish to unequivocally state that, any attempt to further keep this National Working Committee as the Working Committee of the Party is to send the APC into it’s early grave. We shall not continue to fold our arms and allow our collective efforts being ruined.” Ogenyi said.
