From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
The National Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, has dismissed the speculations that the partys National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, will be sacked during its Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings scheduled for September 11 and 12 respectively.
Speaking when the governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, paid the national leadership of the ruling party courtesy visit in Abuja on Friday, the partys chief scribe admitted that the party leadership received Gandujes speculated sack with shock.
He cleared the air on the status of the party’s boss, emphasising that none of the scheduled meetings are for regime change in the party.
“None of these activities of the party is an elective meeting. The National Caucus is established under Article 11 of the Constitution of our party as well as the NEC. They are part of routine meetings that our party should be having on a regular basis.
“But people like to twist events. Immediately we put up notice when the President told us about his availability, we read in the papers that the meetings (Caucus & NEC) is about changing the leadership of our party,” he explained.
