The party is due for the constitution of its BoT on June 20, 2015 following the rectification of the process by the party's National Working Committee, NWC, last week. Tinubu who is a big brain behind the formation of APC by the four defunct political parties- Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN. the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, All Nigeria People's Party, ANPP, and a faction of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA now known as legacy parties, apparently lost out in the power game when his candidates for the Senate Presidency and Speakership of the House of Representatives were defeated at the National Assembly leadership election and with this, it was also learnt that many people may not be comfortable with Tinubu occupying the office. The fear that he may use the office to attack most members of the NWC among whom are the National Chairman of the party Chief John Oyegun, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and Speaker, House of Representatives, Barrister Yakubu Dogora whose relationship with him has gone awry following the National Assembly leadership election.
