APC National Vice Chairman North West, Dr Salihu Lukman says his colleagues in the national working committee (NWC) lack the powers to unilaterally expel him from the party.
Lukman argued that the moves coming from the National Legal Adviser whose legal qualification is not in doubt smacks of deliberate attempts to manipulate the NWC into subverting the Party’s constitution.
Lukman in correspondence to Adamu, and copied to the outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari, the President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Governor Atiku Bagudu led progressives governors forum maintained that the power to expel him from the party is vested with the national executive committee of the party .
” There is nowhere in the APC Constitution where the NWC is given the power to discipline any member of the party.
“APC, being a party founded with the vision to promote progressive politics, must be about encouraging debates in organs of the party. Anybody who is not comfortable with positions that challenge the decisions of leaders bordering on respecting provisions of our Party’s constitution should know that the APC is not where he/she belongs.
