THE ruling All Progressives Congress has scheduled an emergency National Executive Committee meeting for December 8, 2020.
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Sunday night.
Recall that the APC held its last emergency meeting on June 25, where the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee of the party was dissolved.
It was however learnt that the forthcoming emergency meeting might not be unconnected to addressing the fresh moves by some APC stakeholders to frustrate key activities of the party.
The fresh crisis, The Point learnt, could be linked to what observers described as a leadership tussle within the party.
However, in the statement, titled, ‘APC: Emergency NEC Meeting Holds 8th December,’ Nabena said, “An emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress has been scheduled for Tuesday, 8th December, 2020.
“In a formal invitation sent to APC NEC members by the National Secretary of the Party’s Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, the meeting will ‘review the Party’s position and set agenda for the Party’s next move.’
“In line with the COVID-19 public health protocols, the APC NEC meeting will be virtual. Login details will be sent to APC NEC members in due course. The meeting is slated for 11am at the Council Chamber, State House, Abuja.”
