Crisis Looms in APC As Elected National Deputies demands for equity, justice, sense of belonging

All seems not to be well at the national level of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) due to alleged injustice melted out to some elected national deputies of the party.

Recently, some NWC and NEC members were offered appointments in some parastatals, to the utmost surprise of everybody as some of the elected deputies were left out.

According to a source, this injustice has been ongoing since they were elected, as they were not giving housing or car allowances like their colleagues. Most Affected are the following:

-Deputy National Legal adviser
-Deputy National Youth Leader
-Deputy National Treasurer
-Deputy National Auditor
-Deputy National Welfare officer are not also members of the NWC,
while some National Deputies are members.

The following elected National officers were also left out in the last appointment announced:
The National Ex-Officio South-West
National Ex-Officio South+South
National Ex-Officio North-Central
National Ex-Officio South-East
National Ex-Officio North- West
National Ex-Officio North East

Worst of all it all happened during the last Christmas and new year celebrations, where NWC members shared 20 bags of rice each to themselves without even giving the National Officers anything. They weren’t given other items that were shared like their colleagues got. They see it as greed on the part of their colleagues in NWC.
They also did not benefit from the housing and vehicle allowances their fellow colleagues in NWC gave themselves.

If not for the respect they have for Mr president by now they would have been protests.

A reliable source informed us that the non-NWC Deputies together with the Ex officio are planning for a show-down next week if their demands are not met promptly.

They claim that they all worked for the emergence of Mr President and were also elected the same day as their colleagues who got appointments as Chairman of Federal Government agencies and wondered why the National Chairman of their party, APC did not forward their names to Mr President for Federal appointments.
