The All Progressives Congress has dissolved the executive committees in Imo and Ogun states.
Also dissolved were the local government and ward executives in the two states.
Their dissolution formed part of the
resolutions reached during the National Working Committee meeting
presided over by the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, in Abuja on
Tuesday.
In their place, the NWC would inaugurate
caretaker committees that would superintend over the affairs of the
party in the two states ahead of the general elections.
Oshiomhole emerged from the meeting on
Tuesday around 7pm and quickly entered his waiting vehicle to avoid
journalists who had waited the whole day for a briefing.
When approached by journalists at the
entrance of his car, the former Edo State governor said the National
Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, who had earlier left the
venue of the meeting, would brief them.
“The NPS will brief you,” he said.
Recall that Governor Ibikunle Amosun
(Ogun) and his counterpart in Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, and Minister
of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, had vowed to work against governorship
candidates in their states.
A member of the NWC told our
correspondent that the meeting decided to dissolve all the party
structures in Ogun and Imo states to stem the conflict of ideas being
promoted by the two governors.
He said, “The two governors have
sponsored their preferred candidates on the platform of other political
parties while they are holding on to the APC’s senatorial tickets.
“We see this as a conflict of interest which could jeopardise the party’s efforts to win the two states.”
