The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dissolved the National Working Committee (NWC) headed by suspended chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
The Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni, was appointed to head a national caretaker and convention committee in its place.
Details of when the convention will hold are yet to emerge.
Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmed in tweet said the decision was taken during the ongoing NEC meeting called by Victor Giadom at the State House on Thursday.
Members of the NWC had previously vowed not to attend the ongoing NEC meeting of the party describing it as illegal because they didn’t recognise Giadom as acting chairman.
