By Levinus Nwabughiogu

ABUJA – The meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC is about to commence.

The meeting is the first since the landslide victory of the party in the last general elections that brought it to power, both at the center and in 22 out of 36 States of the federation.

The party had been enmeshed in crisis following the national assembly leadership election on June 9. And every move by the national leadership of the party to resolve the crisis had apparently failed, hence the NEC meeting.
