Convene NEC or face legal action, APC National Vice Chairman threatens Abdullahi Adamu

National Vice Chairman (North West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Salihu Lukman, has threatened the party’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, with legal action if he fails to convene a meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) within the next week.

In an open letter dated April 19, 2023, Lukman warned that failure to restore constitutional order in the APC and manage its affairs based on the requirements of the party’s constitution would not be tolerated.

He called on the National Chairman to convene a NEC meeting before May 29, 2023, to address issues related to the smooth transition between the outgoing government of President Muhammadu Buhari and the incoming government of President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

“If by the end of this one-week notice, no action is taken to convene a 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,” Lukman wrote.

The National Vice Chairman’s warning comes amid growing concerns about the APC’s leadership and internal cohesion.

Lukman’s call for the National Chairman to convene the NEC meeting is seen as a crucial step in addressing these concerns and ensuring the party’s continued success.
