Yekini Nabena, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, has enjoined President Muhammadu Buhari to call for the party’s National Executive Committee emergency meeting to address the current leadership tussle in the party.
Nabena, who also doubles as the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, stated this on Saturday at a news conference in Abuja.
It will be recalled that the party’s National Working Committee has been shredded into factions, each claiming leadership and the recent ruling of the court upholding the suspension of Oshiomhole as the party’s National Chairman has not helped issues.
Nabena urged the president to convene an emergency meeting due to these factors so that issues will be settled amicably.
He said: “At least four people are laying claim to the chairmanship of the APC following the court-ordered suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
“All manner of court cases and orders are flying around contesting party decisions and National Working Committee’s position.
“Factions are festering at the national level and many states.
“The APC is clearly at a tipping point.
“The several court cases and orders over the national leadership of the party has put the party in a standstill and is a legal threat to forthcoming elections in Edo and Ondo States.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is the leader of the party and it has become imperative for him to convene an emergency meeting of the National Executive Committee.
“This is to find solutions to the crisis and chart a way forward.”
