The All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to hold its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Wednesday. The party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, will face scrutiny over his stewardship.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja. It will also discuss other critical issues. These include the party’s budget proposal for 2025 and the upcoming governorship election in Anambra.
According to a source at the party secretariat, the meeting is not expected to be a dramatic affair. It is rather a routine gathering to discuss party matters. The source noted that some media outlets may be speculating. They believe the meeting could be a sign-off for Ganduje’s exit as National Chairman. However, this is unlikely to happen.
The NEC meeting will be preceded by a National Caucus meeting on Tuesday. This meeting will take place at the Presidential Villa banquet hall. President Bola Tinubu is expected to chair both meetings. Vice President Kashim Shettima and former President Muhammadu Buhari will attend them.
Other items on the agenda for the NEC meeting include:
– Account Audit: A review of the party’s financial records and audit reports.
– Briefing on Off-Cycle Electionslll: A discussion on the recently concluded off-cycle elections in Edo and Ondo states.
– Payment of Dues: A reminder to federal appointees and APC lawmakers to pay their dues to the party.
– E-Membership Registration: An update on the ongoing e-membership registration exercise.
– Progressive Institute: A short presentation on the newly established Progressive Institute.
The meetings are expected to provide a platform for party stakeholders to discuss critical issues. They will also chart a course for the party’s future.
