APC is reportedly worried about Buhari’s attitude of not consulting officials of the party in the appointment of his cabinet.
The APC NWC will also look into the face-off between the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, referred to in some quarters as the ‘unofficial Vice President’.
El-Rufai was alleged to have made an uncomplimentary remark on Osinbajo, who protested and eventually walked out of a meeting, which had Buhari in attendance.
Before leaving, a furious Osinbajo allegedly told Buhari: “I am an elected Vice President and would not sit down here and allow a governor to insult me.”
An NWC member told Vanguard that the leadership of APC was not comfortable with the incident and would not sit idly while the Vice President was being treated as a puppet.
The source noted that the crises in APC, especially the management of the party’s success at the general elections, was becoming a big headache for members.
Another issue is the power rift between former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, former governor of Osun State, Bisi Akande and national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, over who becomes APC Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman.
Also to be discussed at the meeting is the feud between Tinubu and the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki.
Similarly, the disrupted Bayelsa governorship primary held on September 22 will be raised.
The outcome has led to a media war between Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole and former governor of Bayelsa State, Timi Sylva.

With just three days to the end of September, Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina, says the ministerial list will be out not later than Wednesday Sept. 30th.

"September does not end until midnight of 30th and as long as we are within September, the president is still on course to fulfill his promise. The president's promise is that he will release the list in September and as long as we are still in September he is within course" he told Channels TV.
