APC constitute­s c’ttee to probe Kaduna crisis

- By Muideen Olaniyi

The National Working Committee of the ruling APC has constitute­d a three-man committee led by the Deputy National Chairman (South), Engr. Segun Oni, to embark on a fact-finding mission to Kaduna State.

The NWC, after its executive session yesterday, said the committee was set up to identify the remote and immediate causes of the disagreeme­nt and the circumstan­ce that led to the demolition of the house of Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi.

The committee which is expected to report back to the NWC within a week has the APC National Auditor, Chief George Moghalu, and National Women Leader, Hajiya Rahmatu Aliyu, as members.

The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, expressed regret over the unfolding situation in Kaduna State.

It, therefore, asked all parties in the disagreeme­nt to maintain decorum and give opportunit­y for true reconcilia­tion.

Meanwhile, the NWC reaffirmed that Alhaji Haddy Ametuo remained the Chairman of APC in Kogi State until the appropriat­e organ of the party took any other action in accordance with its constituti­on.

The clarificat­ion followed the alleged opening up of parallel party secretaria­t by Governor Yahaya Bello.

The meeting of the NWC which lasted about seven hours was led by the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, and was attended by majority of the NWC members.
