The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdulahi Adamu, Tuesday, said that the National Working Committee (NWC) has no input in the emergence of the leaders of the National Assembly.
According to DAILY POST, the party’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, declared at the conclusion of its meeting on May 8, 2023, that the zoning formula submitted by President Bola Tinubu had been approved.
Unexpectedly, Adamu, who presided over the gathering, reversed course on Tuesday and denounced the National Assembly’s leaders.
He was adamant that Tajudeen Abbas’ election as Speaker of the House of Representatives and the emergence of Senator Godswill Akpabio as Senate President and other key officials were unrelated to the APC NWC.
He said this during a gathering of APC governors at the party’s secretariat.
“You will get an update on the sharing of powers in the National Assembly, particularly the leadership of the chambers,” he said. the Senate President and Deputy Senate President electing the Senate’s top officials. The results and announcements on the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives have been made.
The Senate President and his Deputy paid me a courtesy call on Saturday. The Speaker and his Deputy Speaker came to me for Sallah’s homage the next Sunday.
“However, I have only now heard a story in the web media that there have been announcements in the Senate and House of Representatives. The national office of the NWC party has not disclosed any such information or communicated regarding the selection of offices. According to Daily post.
“And it is not our aim to depart from customs until we formally resolve and communicate with them in writing, which is the standard and practise. Therefore, any announcement made by the Speaker or Deputy Speaker, the President of the Senate, or the Deputy President of the Senate does not come from this Secretariat.
We are going to formally advise you that we will hold a caucus because there hasn’t been one for a while. The APC caucus has been reorganised in accordance with its charter.
And since you governors are better familiar with your states than we are, we will talk about that with you. Even if we are both governors of the same state, you are the leaders.
