senators have petitioned the party’s secretariat over the adoption of consensus candidates for the Senate Presidency of the 10th National Assembly.Presenting their grievances during the visit on Thursday in Abuja, Mr Yari said the fourth senator, Osita Izunaso, couldn’t join the group on the visit due to unforeseen circumstances.
He added that the lawmakers had done their best to ensure that the party remained in power and deserved to be carried along in its decisions. Mr Adamu, while welcoming the lawmakers, expressed satisfaction with their visit and decision to come open with their grievance. “But the circumstances that we found ourselves in after the elections frustrated our desire,” Mr Adamu said, adding that the party’s leadership would revisit the issue in the interest of all.
