There seems to be trouble in paradise as the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) distanced itself from the National Assembly’s majority leadership positions announced by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas.
Akpabio and Abbas had announced the emergence of new principal officers during Tuesday’s plenary.
Akpabio said the announcement was in line with agreements by the caucuses of the majority and the minority parties.
In the Senate, Akpabio named Opeyemi Bamidele (of, Ekiti) as Majority Leader; David Umahi (APC, Ebonyi), Deputy Majority Leader; Mohammed Ali Ndume (APC, Borno), Senate Majority Whip; and Lola Ashiru (APC, Kwara), Deputy Majority Whip.
The speaker said all the members of the APC in the house endorsed the selection of the principal officers from the ruling party.
But the national chairman of APC, Abdullahi Adamu, yesterday said the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) was not aware of the emergence of principal officers of the 10th National Assembly.
Speaking during a meeting with governors who are members of the party at the APC national secretariat on Tuesday, July 5, 2023, in Abuja, Adamu said the party has not officially communicated with the presiding officers.
