APC NASS Consensus: Wase, Betara, Jaji, Soli On Warpath With Party - Latest News
But LEADERSHIP gathered that Leaders of the governing party, including president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and governors on the party’s platform had on Friday endorsed Senator Godswill Akpabio and Hon Tajudeen Abbas.
This is even as a crack emerged in the Lagos State House of Representatives caucus over the purported adoption and endorsement of Abbas as the preferred choice of Tinubu. At the time of filing this report, our source pegged the combined figures of supporters of the four aspirants at 287. “We know he cannot because he knows too well, the implications of such action. It is either he has resolved to use Gbajabiamila to subjugate the north or Gbajabiamila is acting a script without the knowledge of the incoming president.
He was equally said to have accused Gbajabiamila of deliberate misinformation to the public on the issue of speakership, saying the Abbas adoption was his petsonal agenda and not a decision of the party nor Tinubu’s. Stakeholders of the party from the zone yesterday insisted vehemently that the zone must produce the next Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 10th Assembly because it is their turn.
Alancha stated: “We are again compelled to invoke our mandate to address you this morning due to an anomaly we have detected in the direction APC leadership in the country is taking in the course of zoning key offices in the 10th Assembly which we feel may not augur well for our democracy. The LP caucus of the House of Representatives, also on Saturday, elected Hon. Victor Afam Ogene, of Ogbaru Federal Constituency of Anambra State, as leader of the caucus in the House.
“The parliament operates under the dictum of first among equals and any attempt to foist any form of leadership on members may be counterproductive,” Kabiriwa said.
