APC’s NWC approves nomination of Bulama, Ajimobi, Chukwuma as national officers

 

The National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the nomination of Mr Waziri Bulama, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, and Mr Paul Chukwuma as national officers of the party.

This was disclosed in a statement by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu on Wednesday.

The announcement came after the decision of the Abuja High Court suspending Mr Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the party.

According to him, the decision to approve Bulama’s nomination was reached during the meeting of the NWC held on January 14 at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

He noted that the party had given notice for a replacement from the zone, following the resignation of Mr Mai Mala Buni as the APC National Secretary in May 2019 prior to his election as the governor of Yobe State.

The APC spokesman disclosed that Ajimobi emerged as the party’s Deputy National Chairman (South), and Chukwuma was nominated as the National Auditor.

He explained that the approval was given following their nominations from the zone.

Senator Ajimobi’s emergence as the APC deputy national chairman comes more than one year after he lost his bid to return to the Senate in the February 23 polls.

Having completed his two terms as governor, Ajimobi was defeated by Senator Kola Balogun of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ibadan South senatorial district election.

However the acting National Secretary of the party, Mr Victor Giadom, had stated earlier while addressing a news conference at the APC headquarters in Abuja, that the party will respect the decision of the Abuja High Court suspending Mr Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the party.

According to Giadom, the APC is a law-abiding political party and remains committed to obeying court orders.

He disclosed that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party would meet soon to deliberate on the challenges facing the APC.
