The president view was overwhelmingly supported by majority of members present at that NEC meeting. Surprisingly after the meeting, Chief John Oyegun has been trying to rally the governors to possibly reverse the president pronouncement. During their tenure, just only one member colluded with opposition party to hijack the leadership of the national assembly. NWC just couldn’t provide platform for cohesion, proper direction and coordination for all the party organs at the federal, state and local levels. It’s against this backdrop that the Nigerians overwhelmingly lent their support to the decision of the party to hold a new convention that will herald new NWC and party executives at all levels.
