APC Governors have embarked on a desperate moves to savage some of the crisis rocking the All Progressive Party over the supreme court declaration on the chairmanship of Mai Mala Bunk.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo have also join in the moves on the order of Muhammadu Buhari. The President urge the committee headed by the Vice President to consult with all the other stakeholders to deliberate on ways to escape future legal traps.
Zebra News also gathered that, following the new development, the vice president and the governors swung into action on Friday; holding their first meeting.
A highly-placed party source who spoke to Punch on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, disclosed that at the inaugural meeting, Osinbajo presided over a legal review of the judgment with lawyers who are members of the Federal Executive Council ahead of Saturday’s Ward congresses.
The Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the APC, Buni, reportedly rushed down to the Villa over the weekend in company of the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, to explain the position of the party’s leadership to the vice-president.
It was learnt that, at the Friday meeting, most of the APC governors voted in favour of proceeding with the ward congress; though some felt the exercise would be canceled if it went ahead.
The party’s source denied speculations that the VP directed the Attorney General of Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN to halt the ward congress.
Late on Monday, a reliable source in the Villa told Punch that “The VP is of the firm view that the Supreme Court ruling last week is a clear legal ditch which is best avoided.
“And he wants to ensure that the interest of the party remains paramount; hoping that all stakeholders would eventually find a way in the interest of Nigerians who have reposed so much confidence and support in the party.”
