Members of the dissolved National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressive Congress (APC) have vowed to seek redress in court.
The members vowed to seek legal redress over the NEC’s action of dissolving the NWC on Thursday, June 25.
A member of the committee described NEC’s action of dissolving the national leadership of the party as illegal and unconstitutional.
Seeking a legal action is despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s plea that all aggrieved members of the APC should withdraw all litigations to allow peace within the ruling party.
The NEC had during an emergency virtual meeting resolved among other things to dissolve the national leadership, setting up a caretaker committee headed by the former national secretary and current governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni.
The NWC member insisted that there is no provision of a caretaker committee in the constitution of the ruling party, insisting that they have many grounds of infractions committed from the resolutions of NEC.
“We will soon issue a statement but we have resolved to head to court for the legal interpretations of the decision of NEC especially as it concerns our dissolution. Yes, we know that Oshiomhole has his faults, but with all the positive contributions he has made to reposition the party, won’t he have been given to honours of telling him to resign?” he queried.
The APC chairman caretaker committee has reported to formally take over the running of the ruling party on the afternoon of Thursday, June 25, shortly after the setting up of the committee, with no fewer than five other Progressive Governors Forum (PGF).
