The National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Arc. Waziri Bulama, has described Thursday’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party as “illegal”.

Bulama, in a statement on Wednesday titled ‘Purported NEC Meeting to Hold on June 25, 2020 is Illegal’, said it would be untrue that President Muhammadu Buhari renowned for insisting on compliance with the constitution and rule of law would support the convening of such an illegal NEC by a non-member of APC’s NWC.

He urged all to disregard “the said notice” as neither the NWC nor the NEC had called for such meeting. He said: “We are constrained to once again react to a purported invitation to a National Executive Committee meeting of our great party; the All Progressives Congress (APC) issued by one Victor Giadom who until the last general elections in 2019 held the position the Deputy National Secretary of the Party.

“Our esteem members are advised to disregard this invitation because the author and sole signatory of the said invitation is not member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of our party, talk more of being an Acting National Chairman as claimed. “He had voluntarily resigned in compliance with Article 31(1)(i) of our Constitution to contest the position of Deputy Governor in Rivers State during the last general elections and has not been re-nominated by his Zone to return to that office.

“Further, his non-membership of the NWC has been affirmed by the Courts and an Order restraining him from parading himself as a member of the NWC was granted against him on June 22, 2020 in the case of DELE MOSES & ANOR V APC (SUIT NO: PHC/360/2020) where the Court said inter alia: ‘That an Order of interim injunction be and is hereby made restraining the 1st, 2nd 4th and 5th Defendants, acting by themselves or through auy of their officers, agents, or privies from recognizing or regarding the 3rd Defendant/Respondent as the National Chairman or Acting National Chairman or Deputy National Secretary of the 1st Defendant/Respondent or member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the 1st Defendant/Responde1it pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice”. “He has also been suspended by the Rivers State Chapter of our party and the NWC received communication of same on June 21, 2020.

“More instructive is the fact that the said invitation copiously references the NEC meeting he illegally sought to convene on March 17, 2020 with a view to resurrecting same to hold on June 25, 2020. “Regrettably, this proposed NEC meeting is also infected by the same bug that render the former void which is Article 25 (B) of our Constitution which provides: ‘Article 25B (i and ii) of the APC Constitution (2014 as amended) states; “The National Executive Committee shall meet every quarter and or at any time decided by the National Chairman or at the request made in writing by at least two-thirds of the members of the National Executive Committee provided that not less than fourteen days’ notice is given for the meeting to be summoned.

“Without prejudice to Article 25(B)(i) of this Constitution, the National Working Committee may summon an emergency National Executive Committee meeting at any time, provided that at least seven days’ notice of the meeting shall be given to all those entitled to attend.’

“It is clear that even a legitimate Chairman is only invested with powers to fix/announce a date for NEC meetings to hold every quarter and nothing more.

“He cannot summon a meeting on that date because under our Constitution only the National Secretary can do so pursuant to Article 14.3 of our Constitution which provides:

‘14.3. National Secretary The National Secretary shall:

ii. Cause to be issued as directed, notices of meetings of the National Convention, the National Executive Committee and the National Working Committee of the Party’.

“Indeed two-thirds of the members of NEC may also summon a meeting, but it shall be required that the National Secretary gives 14 days notice to all persons entitled to attend.

“In this case, the purported invitation was illegally issued on June 23, 2020 and the meeting fixed for June 25, 2020 which gives notice for only 2 days.

“We concede that a shorter Notice period of 7 days is allowed under our Constitution as stated in 25(b)(ii) above, however, a majority of the members of NWC must have voted to summon such a NEC meeting and that was not the case in this instance.”

Didn't know there was so much disunity in APC......Oshiomole was really covering a whole lot......in all of these I learnt never to support evil even if it's against your enemy......same thing they have been doing to opposition is what they are doing to themselves.......and their only saviour which would have been the judiciary is a complete night mere........I feel for them sha.

Don't be daft. Not all Yoruba's follow them. The generalization is not cool at all. Remember how they lost in Oyo, rigged in Osun and Ekiti. Half of the Yoruba population are against their party's hypocritical and draconian rule. Well maybe except the Yoruba Muslims.

Giadom truly has smart lawyers behind him, he knows about the notice, that is why he is re-enacting the old NEC meeting od March which already has that mandatory notice of 14days..

He sure knows his onions..

You feel for rogues who have punged this country into abject poverty, people who are grade one thieves? These are the people you feel for? You should be feeling for the innocent Nigerians who have been shortchanged by these Cunning, lying and utterly corrupted politicians.

An inconsequential Bulama having an opinion

Bulama wey DSS go pick up tomorrow, him go change mouth dey shout "Giadom my able Chairman Sir"
