The National Executive Committee of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) has approved the extension of the tenure of the John
Odigie Oyegun led National Working Committee and state executive
committees of the party for any other one year with effect from
June 2018.

Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello who briefed newsmen midway
into the meeting said the decision was taken in line with article
13 of the party which allows the NEC to exercise the powers of the
National Convention.
