The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled its former National Vice Chairman (South-South), Hilliard Eta, from the party.
This was disclosed on Tuesday by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai after the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting that held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
El-Rufai revealed that Eta was expelled due to his refusal to withdraw all law cases against the party.
The ruling party also extended the tenure of the caretaker committee by six months.
Recall that the committee also dissolved all party structures from the wards, local governments, states and zonal levels and such members to constitute caretaker committees.
NEC directed new members of APC to be granted waivers so they can contest for elections without having to wait for two years which was done previously.
The meeting was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, National Chairman of the party’s Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni and Ebonyi State Governor, Dave Umahi.
Others included Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) and Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu among several others.
