Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
The Presidency on Sunday insisted that the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Executive Council, NEC, meeting held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa was virtual not a physical one.<\/p>\n
President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s spokesman, Garba Shehu said no one can dictate to the president where to sit or hold meetings.<\/p>\n
Recall that APC NEC meeting, which led to the dissolution of the party\u2019s National Working Committee, NWC led by immediate past National Chairman was held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.<\/p>\n
Reacting, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had lambasted Buhari for using the Federal Executive Council (FEC) Chambers and government resources to conduct party affairs.<\/p>\n
However, Buhari\u2019s spokesman, Garba Shehu said the meeting was held virtually to observe social distancing.<\/p>\n
A statement Shehu signed and sent to DAILY POST reads: \u201cIt is necessary that we put records in their correct perspective concerning the recent meeting held by the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, which has, unfortunately, drawn criticism due to lack of understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe stubborn opinion held by the critics of the administration is that President Muhammadu Buhari had called a political meeting in the \u201challowed\u201d chamber of the Federal Executive Council, as if there is a law that says the President is barred from holding meetings in certain sections of the vast Presidential Villa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
