ABE REVEALS WHY BUHARI REJECTED OYEGUN’S TENURE EXTENSION
The Chairman, Senate Committee on
Federal Roads Maintenance Agency, Senator Magnus Abe, has said that President
Muhammadu Buhari rejected the extension of the tenure of the John
Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee (NWC) , in the best
interest of the party.
Abe stated this on Thursday, while appearing as a guest on
Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.
“This is not about anything that is personal to Buhari.
“What he is looking at is the image of the party, the
responsibility of the APC to lead by example and the best option,” he said.
Senator Abe, who represents the Rivers East Senatorial
District, also commended the President for saving the party from legal issues.
“The President as a leader and conscience of the party has
drawn the attention of everybody that this action we have taken has potential
legal pitfalls ahead for the party if we don’t review it.
“After the President spoke, it is pretty clear to anybody who is a politician
that for a voice that strong to come out to warn and advise us, we as a ruling
party cannot disobey the law.
“We are also the ones that will conduct elections for the
country. It is our party and government that would do that. So we must lead by
example,” the lawmaker added.
