While speaking on the condition of anonymity, the Senator said, “Adamu Aliero went to meet Godswill Akpabio (Senate President) that he has been picked as Minority leader. He said that we the opposition lawmakers, have agreed to make him the minority leader. Where and when was such a decision made ?*
Further talking, he said that other people are also fighting for themselves over the position of the Minority leader.
He said, “So, you see that the PDP is facing a lot of challenges with various interests vested everywhere ? Although the PDP is yet to communicate its intention to the members, the handwriting on the wall says that it is going to the North-West geopolitical zone. That means it.is going to be a battle between Aminu Tambuwal and Adamu Aliero.”
