The National caucus of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the constitution of an Elders’ Council
to replace the Board of Trustees (BoT).
The BoT model has been in use by
many political parties in Nigeria.
It consists of top party members
constitutionally-mandated to provided advice and counsel to the leadership of
the National Working Committee and staff.
But the APC’s decision to have an
Elders’ Council may not be unconnected with the inability of the party to
constitute a Board of Trustees over thy years.
It was gathered that the new
council will have 50 members.
We learnt that the approval of
the Elders’ Council was part of the decisions taken at the Caucus meeting of
the party held at the Presidential villa on Monday night.
Modalities for selecting members
of the Council is expected to be worked out before the National Convention
scheduled for June.
The APC has witnessed some
developments this week alone.
Recall that President Muhammadu
Buhari on Tuesday declared as illegal the tenure elongation of national and
state executives.
