APC NWC may probe National Secretariat, directors

The new National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) may soon commence probe of the National Secretariat, its National Chairman Senator Abdullahi Adamu has hinted.

He said the NWC under his watch will cleanse the party in line with his zero tolerance for failure.

Adamu spoke shortly after receiving his Certificate of Returns from the National Convention Election Committee led by Jigawa Governor Abubakar Badaru.

The former Nasarawa Governor, who said clean members of staff have nothing to fear about the impending probe, insisted the party can not continue the way things were, emphasising his administration’s zero-tolerance for failure.

“It is in God’s pleasure that we are here at the helm of affairs of this party. We have come with a very open mind but you have to reciprocate in the same spirit.

“We will definitely by the will of God Almighty, need to look at you but I am not saying anything today until the Transition Committee submits its report.

“I hope that by the time the report is submitted, you have what they call a clean bill of the ledger, that’s my prayer. Right?

“We have zero tolerance for failure in this new dispensation of our great party,” he said.

The chairman also told party leaders and members to buckle up as the 2023 general elections get closer.

According to him: “We cannot move the way we are to the election. We have a marching order by the leader of this party, President Muhammadu Buhari we will have to deliver, there will be no excuses whatsoever and will need everybody’s hands on deck for this to happen.”

Badaru urged the new National Working Committee (NWC) under Adamu to carry along all those who stepped down for them at the national convention.

He disclosed that of all 78 positions in the NWC and zonal offices, 66 positions were returned through consensus arrangement while the remaining 12 were keenly contested and winners emerged.
