APC Crisis: Proceed with NEC meeting, Court authorises Giadom

Already, President Muhammadu Buhari has recognized his leadership as the authentic lawful authority in the APC. The Nigerian leader and some governors will be present at tomorrow scheduled for tomorrow.

Authorising Giadom to go ahead with the NEC meeting is a High Court of Justice sitting in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
