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

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dissolved the executive committees in Imo and Ogun States including the local government and ward executives in the two states.

Their dissolution formed part of the resolutions reached during the National Working Committee (NWC) 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.

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

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