An NWC member loyal to the Oshiomole faction told Sun that there is no provision of a Caretaker Committee in the constitution of the ruling party, insisting that they are infractions committed by the NEC with that decision

“We will soon issue a statement but we have resolved to head to court for the legal interpretations of the decision of NEC especially as it concerns our dissolution.”

“Yes, we know that Oshiomhole has his faults, but with all the positive contributions he has made to reposition the party, won’t he have been given to honours of telling him to resign?” he queried.

However, the APC caretaker committee has fully taken control, re-opening the sealed party secretariat in Abuja and have begun reconciliatory moves.
