APC vice chair threatens Adamu with legal action over NEC meeting

 


The National Vice Chairman (North West) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Mohammed Lukman has given the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi  Adamu one week to commence the process of convening the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

In an open letter addressed to Adamu and dated April 19, 2023, Lukman said the meeting should be convened to discuss critical issues affecting the party before the May 29 handover date. Recall that a foundation member of the APC, Rev. Alancha had on Tuesday, also called on Adamu to convene an emergency NEC meeting where zoning of the 10th National Assembly positions should be discussed and finalised.

Lukman who is a member of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) said he would take legal action against Adamu if he fails to comply with his demand. In the letter titled, “Restoring constitutional order in APC not negotiable”, the APC vice chairman said, “I make this an open letter because it is about campaigning to return the APC to its foundation, which requires that we mobilise all like-minded party leaders and members in this crusade to restore constitutional order in the APC. “As a person, I have concluded that everything must be done to compel you to respect the constitution of our party and manage its affairs based on the requirements of our constitution and not your personal discretion. “Therefore, by this open letter, I am serving you notice of one week from today, Wednesday, April 19, 2023, to take all the appropriate steps required to convene an NEC meeting before May 29, 2023, wherein all the issues bordering on the management of smooth transition between the outgoing government of President Buhari and the incoming government of President Asiwaju Tinubu can be considered. “If by the end of this one week notice, no action is taken to convene an NEC meeting as the first step to restoring constitutional order in APC, I will not hesitate to take further actions, including approaching our courts to enforce compliance with the provisions of our party’s constitution under your leadership.”

My work as a journalist and digital advocate has focused on breaking these barriers, ensuring that technology serves as a tool for empowerment rather than exclusion. Through my engagement with individuals with disabilities and as the host of Duniyar Fasaha (Fasaha World) on Unity FM, I have worked to bridge the digital divide by providing foundational digital education to marginalized groups. By introducing people with special needs to basic computer skills such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and internet navigation, I have witnessed firsthand how technology can unlock new opportunities and transform lives.
