That was the national chairman’s personal opinion, not the party’s position.
It is really getting out of hand and there is an urgent need to call him to order. Many of us were not happy with what he said because it wasn’t discussed in our meeting with the governors. It was his personal view and not the position of the NWC.And we wonder why Adamu is consistently doing this.
The party took a position on the National Assembly but the national chairman keeps talking about having ‘further and better consultations’ at every point. That amounts to rebellion and insubordination to the party.
In fact, we understand both Akpabio and Abbas went all the way to Keffi to brief him long before he made that statement. OBSERVERSTIMES can authoritatively confirm that Governor Hope Uzodinma said the governors are standing with the NASS and would seek means to resolve the friction. But the truth is that there is nothing to resolve. The point is that the president is fully in the know and consented. The national chairman and the governors were also briefed. These are the stakeholders of the party for crying out loud. We, therefore, distance ourselves and the NWC from such actions that clearly undermine the smooth take off of the APC federal government under the leadership of President Asiwaju and call on the National also briefed.

When it was Uzodinma’s turn to speak, he sounded conciliatory and appealed to Adamu to try and ensure that there was no crisis.
Bago, on the other hand, was very direct. He told Adamu that it was wrong of him to have spoken the way he spoke and that the principal officers of the National Assembly emerged after wide consultations with relevant stakeholders. Yobe state Governor, Mai Mala Buni also observed that stakeholders of the party were all working at cross-purposes. In fact, he expressed concerns that even the NWC appeared constantly divided.
therefore pleaded with Adamu to seal all cracks and ensure that everyone was on the same page”,
