The All Progressives Congress (APC) has again stated that the tenure extension controversy rocking the party will be resolved.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, gave the assurance in a chat with newsmen, yesterday.
“It is left for the NEC to decide, and if the committee recommends that the position of NEC should be maintained, then there will be no need for an elective convention”, he said.
“Then, the president and those who are concerned that the decision we have taken is correct or not, will have more confidence in the position of the party,” he added.
The APC spokesman, however, said that if the technical committee recommended that congresses should be held, the party´s NEC would consider that.
