President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to attend the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting coming up on Tuesday.

APC Governors elected on the party’s platform, members of its Board of Trustee and National Working Committee (NWC) members among others, are also expected to attend the meeting.

This was disclosed by Bolaji Abdullahi, the APC National Publicity Secretary on Monday.

On what would be discussed at the meeting, Abdullahi said “It is going to be a routine NEC meeting which is a final leg of the meeting that was held last month.

“If you recall after the NEC meeting last, month, I told you that two issues were outstanding and that members asked for more time to study those issues.

“These are the issues of constitutional amendment and the True Federalism committee report.

“These are the two key items on the agenda for tomorrow’s NEC meeting.”

It would be recalled that the APC NEC at its meeting of Feb. 26, extended the tenure of the party`s National Working Committee (NEC) and other executive members across all levels by one year, starting from June.

Some party members, who were not comfortable with it, had taken the party to court over the issue.

The APC Forum State chairmen had, however, said such members who took the party to court out of grievance should be disciplined by the party`s leadership in consonance with its constitution.
