President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has put an end to the disagreement between Abdullahi Adamu, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the leadership of the National Assembly about the announcement of the key officers of the parliament.
Recall that a crisis in the ruling party broke out on Tuesday after Adamu rejected the chief executives of the National Assembly announced by both the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Adamu rejected the announcement of the principal officers during a meeting with the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) led by Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
The APC Chairman stated that the announcement of the new principal officers is a rumour and that the list of the names did not emanate from the party.
Following Adamu’s outburst, President Tinubu summoned Adamu and the party’s National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, to the State House, Abuja, for a crucial meeting.
At the end of the meeting, there was no official statement from the presidency on the matter, but a source told Daily Trust that the president was embarrassed by the development.
Another source stated that the president endorsed the actions of Akpabio and Abbas on the principal officers and asked Adamu to align with the decisions made.
