The reinstated National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, has summoned a meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, of the ruling party.
The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 17, at the party’s National Secretariat by 12 noon.
This was revealed in a terse statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu.
“All members of the NWC are expected to attend as important matters concerning the party will be considered and deliberated at the meeting,’’ part of the statement read.
Recall that a Court of Appeal had stayed the execution order of a high court restraining Oshiomhole from further acting as the party’s National Chairman.
Oshiomhole’s supporters have been celebrating the verdict of the Appeal Court which has automatically reinstated the former Edo State Governor as the party’s National Chairman.
A video circulating on social media shows supporters of Oshiomhole celebrating the verdict in Abuja.
On Monday, March 16, Oshiomhole met with the Chief of Staff to the President, Mallam Abba Kyari, at the Presidential villa.
The embattled APC National Chairman met with Kyari at the Nigerian seat of power while President Muhammadu Buhari was away.
The APC NWC had met behind closed doors on Tuesday, March 10 without Oshiomhole and his loyalists in the committee attending.
