In addition, NEC directed new members of APC to be granted waivers so they can contest for elections without having to wait for two years which was done previously.
Meanwhile, President Buhari during the meeting urged NEC to adopt all the proposals of the party’s caretaker committee and grant all the necessary approvals necessary to rebuild the party.
Buhari who said this in his opening remarks at the meeting of the party’s NEC today stated that the party must produce leaders who will not inherit the problems that led to the dissolution of the last national working committee of the party.
On insecurity, the committee asked the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to politicize the issue but to collaborate with the government to end the insurgency affecting the country.
