The All Progressive Grand Alliance faction, led by Edozie Njoku, has announced the dissolution of the State Working Committee of the party in Kwara, Kogi, Lagos, Oyo, Delta, Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi states.
Okoro Benedict, the National Administrative Secretary of the party, said in Abuja on Friday that the dissolution of the working committees of the 10 affected states was part of the reconciliatory efforts of the party led by Njoku.
He stated that the decision was arrived at after the National Working Committee meeting attended by the party’s stakeholders.
“Following from the Supreme Court and Federal High Court judgments, the NWC met and deliberated on a wide range of issues, particularly the recent judicial pronouncements on the party, and resolved as follows:
