BUHARI’S ABSENCE FROM APC NEC MEETING EXPLAINED
Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Abuja has been attributed to a late invitation. The meeting, presided over by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saw attendance from prominent APC leaders, including Vice President Kashim Shettima and various governors. Buhari’s spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, in a Statement explained that the invitation to Buhari was sent late, reaching him only on Tuesday, just a day before the meeting. “President Muhammadu Buhari is not a caucus member of the party. He was supposed to attend the NEC meeting, but unfortunately, the invitation was forwarded to him on Monday,” Shehu stated. However, Shehu emphasized, Buhari’s spirit remains with the attendees as well as the entire party members. His status as a founding member of the APC and his contributions to the party also remains unwavering.
