APC Vice Chair Accuses Adamu Of Not Working For Success of Anointed APC Legislative Presiding Officers

Salihu Lukman, vice-chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the north-west, has accused Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the party, of behaving like a “factional leader”.

In a statement on Wednesday, Lukman accused the party chairman of not working for the success of those nominated by the APC as presiding officers in the 10th national assembly.

The vice-chairman said Adamu appears to desire a repeat of the 2015 scenario, when Bukola Saraki, a former governor of Kwara, defied the APC and emerged senate president.

“As if those consultations were not designed to produce agreements, once the NWC approved the recommendation for zoning the leadership of the 10th national assembly, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, instead of acting as the national chairman, facilitating implementation of decisions of organs of the party, he is acting as a factional leader opposing the decision of the NWC,” he said.

“Instead of working for the success of the decision of the NWC through activating meetings of higher organs of the party to confer more legitimacy to the decision of the NWC, he seems to be more interested in ensuring that the 2015 model of rebellious leadership emerges in the 10th national assembly,” he added.
