Tinubu, Shettima, Osinbajo, other former leaders to attend APC NEC tomorrow


…BUHARI’S MEMORY TO BE HONORED AT MEETING

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would be leading other party stalwarts to tomorrow’s National Executive Committee meeting of the ruling All Progressives Congress, including the Vice President Kassim Shettima, former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, some former Governors and members of the National Working Committee among others.

There are indications that tomorrow’s NEC would hold a short session in honour of the late President Muhammadu Buhari,  being the first major APC meeting after his death.

The session is among other major agenda items already penciled for deliberations at the NEC meeting holding tomorrow at the party’s National Secretariat.

The meeting where the issue of a substantive National Chairman of the party would also be discussed, is expected to have an extended participation since the National Caucus which normally precedes the NEC is not holding in this instance, but some members of the caucus are expected at the NEC, according to party sources.

It is the traditional practice of the APC to hold a National Caucus meeting a day before the NEC, but that tradition is now being set aside due to logistics issues according to party sources, necessitating the expansion of tomorrow’s NEC to include some members of the party’s National Caucus.
