Speaking on NEC’s devolution of powers to the NWC, he said: “As you know, we have just risen from NEC meeting. There were two important matters that were placed on the agenda of today’s NEC meeting. Those items were discussed and decisions were taken. The first was a motion which was moved and adopted with a slight Amendment by the NEC, which now stands as a resolution of the NEC of our party. The resolution essentially has devolved the powers of NEC under Article 13 paragraph three, two, three, four, five and six respectively, of our Constitution. But those powers of NEC in those provisions will now be invested, or are now vested in the NWC of the party.
“So, in other words, the NWC of a party is authorised, for the period specified, have 90 days to exercise the authority that is constitutionally assigned to the NEC on behalf of the behalf of the party. The NEC, also divolves its authority, as enshrined in article 13 paragraph three subparagraph two of the APC constitution to discharge all functions of the national convention as constituted in between conventions.
“NEC also devolved its powers to NWC as enshrined in article 13 paragraph three sub four of the APC constitution to consider reports from national, State and Local governmrnt areas and Area Council chapters of the party and to take such decisions as are necessary to protect, advance and consolidate the gains and interests of our party.
NEC further devolved its powers to the NWC as enshrined in article 13, paragraph three, five of the APC Constitution, to exercise control and take disciplinary actions on all organs, officers are members of the party and determine appeals brought before it by any member or organ of the party.
Finally, that NEC has devolved its powers to the NWC as enshrined in article 13, paragraph three sub six of our Constitution to create elect and appoint any committee it may deem necessary, desirable or expedient and assigned to them such powers and functions as it may deem fit and proper,” he announced.
