A spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka, says the party sent notice of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting to all members of the party including former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.

Morka spoke during an appearance on Channels Television?s Politics Today programme on Wednesday night, hours after the party?s NEC meeting on Blantyre Street, Abuja.

Governors of Edo, Benue, Ondo, Ekiti, Kaduna, Jigawa, Nasarawa, Yobe, Niger, Lagos, Kogi, Ogun, Imo, deputy governor of Ebonyi and former governors of Kogi, Kebbi, Niger, Zamfara, and Plateau were present during the NEC meeting of the party.

The leader of the party, President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shetimma, Senate President Goodwill Akpabio, and Speaker Tajudeen Abbas were also present at the meeting presided over by APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje.

Conspicuously absent from the NEC meeting were former President Muhammadu Buhari; ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai; former Governor of Rivers State and ex-Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi.

The NEC meeting comes a day after the national caucus meeting of the party at the Presidential Villa also in Abuja.

Some APC chieftains including El-Rufai and an ex-National Vice Chairman of the party Salihu Lukman had complained about the lack of internal democracy in the ruling. (Channels TV)
