About 33 elected State chairmen of the All Progressive Congress, APC party, have been inaugurated by the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun led National Working Committee, NWC, of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Inauguration ceremony took place today at the National Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress, Abuja, as scheduled.
Meanwhile, the inauguration of the Lagos State executive was put on hold upon “unresolved constitutional issues” flowing from the conduct of the congresses in 57 local government areas of the state.
Abdullahi said that the inauguration of the Lagos State chapter would be put on hold pending the resolution of the constitutional question as to the legitimacy of the 57 local council development areas or the 20 local councils as recognised by the constitution.
Balogun was elected as APC state chairman at a congress supervised by Senator Uche Ekwunife, an emissary of the national secretariat of the party.
The congress was attended by Governor Akiwunmi Ambode and all but one elected federal and state legislators serving on the platform of the party.
However, in an unprecedented challenge to the authority of Tinubu, a rival executive emerged at a state congress held at Airport Hotel on the same day where Fouad Oki, the immediate past state vice chairman (central) emerged as chairman.
