APC Dissolves State, LG, Ward Excos In Ogun, Imo

The All Progressives Congress has dissolved the executive committees in Imo and Ogun states.

Also dissolved were the local government and ward executives in the two states.

Their
dissolution formed part of the resolutions reached during the National
Working Committee meeting presided over by the National Chairman, Adams
Oshiomhole, in Abuja on Tuesday.

In their place, the NWC would
inaugurate caretaker committees that would superintend over the affairs
of the party in the two states ahead of the general elections.

Oshiomhole
emerged from the meeting on Tuesday around 7pm and quickly entered his
waiting vehicle to avoid journalists who had waited the whole day for a
briefing.

When approached by journalists at the entrance of his
car, the former Edo State governor said the National Publicity
Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, who had earlier left the venue of
the meeting, would brief them.

“The NPS will brief you,” he said.

Recall
that Governor Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun) and his counterpart in Imo State,
Rochas Okorocha, and Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, had
vowed to work against governorship candidates in their states.

A
member of the NWC told our correspondent that the meeting decided to
dissolve all the party structures in Ogun and Imo states to stem the
conflict of ideas being promoted by the two governors.

He said,
“The two governors have sponsored their preferred candidates on the
platform of other political parties while they are holding on to the
APC’s senatorial tickets.

“We see this as a conflict of interest which could jeopardise the party’s efforts to win the two states.”
