The Senator representing Rivers East Senatorial District, Magnus Abe has said President Buhari's decision to reject the proposal by the National Executive Committee (NEC) to elongate the tenure of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress was in the best interest of the party.
The Chairman Senate Committee on Federal Road Maintenance Agency stated this on Thursday while appearing on Channels Television Breakfast show. He noted that the action of the President had saved the party from avoidable legal tussle and unnecessary rancor.
“The President as a leader and conscience of the party has drawn the attention of everybody that this action we have taken has potential legal pitfalls ahead for the party if we don’t review it.
"After the President spoke, it is pretty clear to anybody who is a politician that for a voice that strong to come out to warn and advise us, we as a ruling party cannot disobey the law.
“We are also the ones that will conduct elections for the country. It is our party and government that would do that. So we must lead by example,” he added.
