More than one year after the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) held its last National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in April 2022, the party has again postponed this high level meeting previously scheduled to hold on Monday, in order to give President Bola Tinubu the chance to participate.

The party had in June this year fixed the National Caucus and the NEC meetings for Monday and Tuesday.

But in a statement issued around 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, the National Secretary of the party, Iyiola Omisore, announced the postponement of the two events till 18 and 19 July.
On Sunday, members of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were informed that the meetings of 10th and 11th of July, 2023, have been postponed to the 18th and 19th of July, 2023.

According to the statement, the postponement was necessitated by the regional and sub-regional schedules and engagements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the new (ECOWAS).

President Bola Tinubu has recently emerged as the new chairperson of ECOWAS after he took over from the President of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, Umaro Mokhtar Sissoco Embalo, who has just finished his tenure at the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government on Sunday in Bissau, the capital city of Guinea-Bissau.

The summit was the first international engagement of President Tinubu on the African continent since his swearing-in on 29 May. While accepting the responsibility to lead the body, Mr Tinubu promised to run an inclusive administration, noting how insecurity and creeping terrorism were stunting the progress and development of the region.
President Tinubu had also called for collective action from member-states, pledging that under his leadership, frameworks would be harmonised to actualise the dreams of

ECOWAS.

Adamu’s Tenure Faces Censure
There has been serious complaints over the inability of the Senator Adamu led exco to call for NEC meetings especially since the last time the APC NEC met in April 2022, it transferred its decision-making powers to the National Working Committee of the party.
The Abdulahi Adamu-led NWChas been accused of making decisions for the party, a development that led Salihu Lukman, the national vice chairman(North-west) of the party to take legal action against Messrs Adamu and Omisore.

Mr Lukman called for the removal of Messrs Adamu and Omisore, charging them of running the party with discretionary power without recourse to the other members of the NWC.
He said the actions of the two officials contravene the constitution of the party.

Aside from Mr Lukman, Mr Adamu recently fought the leadership of the National Assembly over the recently constituted principal officers of the two chambers. The chairman had distanced the NWC from the announcements of principal officers by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
However, President Tinubu reportedly waded into the matter and settled the controversy.
