The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disowned the principal officers of the party named in senate and house of representatives.
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress says it was not aware of the principal officers of the party announced in the senate and house of representatives on Tuesday.
While Ali Ndume, representing Borno south, was named as chief whip, Lola Ashiru, senator representing Kwara south, became deputy chief whip., lawmaker representing Owan east/Owan west of Edo as the majority leader; and Abdullahi Ibrahim Halims, legislator representing Ankpa/Omala/Olamaboro of Kogi, as the deputy majority leader.
However, speaking at a meeting of the national working committee and APC governors in Abuja on Tuesday, Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the party, described the news as a “rumour” and said it was not a decision of the APC leadership.“I am just hearing as a rumour now from the online media that there have been some announcements in the senate and house of representatives,” Adamu said.
“And until we formally resolve and communicate with them in writing which is the norm and practice, it is not our intention to break away from traditions.The chairman said the NWC is ready to take counsel from the Progressive Governors Forum and a newly reconstituted caucus to better position the party.
