“The NEC during its last meeting empowered the NWC to fill the existing vacancies occasioned by the resignation and death of the national welfare officer of the party.
“In furtherance to the power vested in the party’s NWC, we have elected the following persons to fill the existing vacant positions,” he said.
On the forthcoming off-season governorship election in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi, he said that the APC was working on plans to set up campaign councils for the states involved.
