The NEC also confirmed that some of the governors of the party were planning to "decamp to PDP and this is unfortunate". Reading an eight-point resolution of the meeting, Gen Jerry Useni said that neither the Board of Trustees (BOT) headed by Admiral Augustus Aikhomu nor the Governors Forum had the right to decide for the party especially on vexed issues like the ongoing crisis in the party. He described as "unfortunate" the role played by some of the party�s governors and added that it was condemnable that "some of them are planning to decamp to the PDP. He reiterated that he was still the Acting chairman of ANPP and said the Board of Trustees cannot fix NEC meeting in Maiduguri. He noted that contrary to speculations, they were in support of the court case currently being pursued by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari against the election of President Olusegun Obasanjo. Useni said that eventhough the NEC attended by 27 state chairmen of the party, appreciated the efforts of Admiral Aikhomu in trying to resolve the crisis, it was not in his powers to fix NEC meeting. Thus he said that NEC has resolved as follows "We regret in its entirety the scheduling of our party�s NEC meeting by the Forum of ANPP Governors and Admiral Augustus Aikhomu slated for 26th and 27th November, 2004 in Maiduguri, Borno State as same was done without the approval of the NEC in consonance with the party�s constitution in Article 141(ii). That the present zoning formula of the party is not and will not be tampered with in anyway whatsoever..." NEC the reiterates its earlier position suspending Chief Don Etiebet, the former National chairman of the party and calls on all government organs and members of the party to disregard any orders emanating from him". � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved).
