The National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the extension of the tenure of the John Odigie Oyegun led National Working Committee and state executive committees of the party for any other one year with effect from June 2018.
Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello who briefed newsmen midway into the meeting said the decision was taken in line with article 13 of the party which allows the NEC to exercise the powers of the National Convention.
He said the tenure extension was taken in view of the need to avoid any confusion in the operation of the party ahead of the forthcoming general elections and to give the Asiwaju Tinubu led reconciliation committee to carry out an effective job.
