It had the mandate to stabilise the party and organise a convention to usher in a new National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling party within six months.

However, its tenure was extended by six months.

Party insiders told Daily Trust that the committee headed by  Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, will get another six-month extension.

Top party sources and lawmakers told Daily Trust that the tenure of the committee would be extended by another six months next week.

A chieftain of the APC, Chief Jackson Lekan Ojo, also confirmed that the timeline of the committee would be extended by six months.

“They have already extended their timeline by six months internally. They are trying to see if they can resolve some internal wrangling,” he told Daily Trust.
