Fresh Crisis Looms In APC As Atiku, Tinubu Battle 4 Chairmanship Of Party’s Bot by senier007(m): 8:56am On Jul 05, 2015 |
Fresh crisis is brewing in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, over the chairmanship of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT). The National Executive Committee of the APC meeting which held last Friday endorsed the constitution of the party’s BoT. No date was, however, set for it. An official of the party told Sun that some chieftains of the party are in the trenches over who heads the yet-to-be-constituted BoT. The source explained that the initial permutation was that former vice president, Atiku Abubakar would chair the advisory body. The move, he said was championed by former Lagos state governor and leader of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who wanted the former vice president to support his candidates for the National Assembly leadership. However, the APC stalwart who does not want his name mentioned said the music had since changed. He told the paper that the emergence of Saraki and Dogara as senate president and House speaker and the role allegedly played by Atiku in the controversial election had pitted Tinubu against the former vice president. His words, “we may be working towards addressing the crisis in the National Assembly but I’m saddened that we may court a new crisis. “Power struggle is going on over chairmanship of our BoT. Initially Tinubu wanted the position to go to North-east. In fact he lobbied Atiku for it in exchange for his support for his candidates in the National Assembly. “When Asiwaju lost out in the National Assembly, he changed his earlier stand that Atiku should head the BoT. The reason is clear. He was disappointed that Atiku was one of the arrowheads that torpedoed all the plans made by him.” Right now, the APC chieftain claimed that Tinubu’s henchmen were wholly against either making Atiku the chairman of the body or giving it to any person from the North-east. He did not, however, state the zone or person the ex-Lagos State governor was rooting for. “I will not be surprised if the struggle over the position takes a larger-than-life dimension. I think the matter will be decided by President Buhari who is the leader of the party,” the source said. The source also told the paper that though some APC chieftains from the South-west were rooting for Tinubu to run for the position or nominate his ally from the zone to contest for it, such proposal would not work. According to him, the South had the position of national chairman and could not be supported to produce chairman of BoT. He said, “the South is occupying the office of national chairman , the BoT must go to the North. It will be difficult to bring up any argument that will change this equation.” On the possibility of Atiku clinching the position even in the face of opposition from Tinubu, the APC official said the vice president enjoyed the support of most governors from the North who would nominate the BoT members. He said, “the former vice president is playing his politics very well at the moment. He has the support of most Northern governors. You and I know that these governors are the ones who will nominate the BoT members again tomorrow night. So I believe we are making some progress, not that everything is signed, sealed and delivered.” Read full story here: http://www.today.ng/politics/fresh-crisis-looms-in-apc-as-atiku-tinubu-battle-for-chairmanship-of-partys-bot/ Cc: Lalasticlala |

Atiku will get it. You know how? The National executive committee of APC comprises mostly northerners. The Nec comprises of the president, the senate president, the House of rep speaker and all the governors and state chairmen. Now this is the maths. The senate president and House of rep speaker will vote Atiku as his boys. Apc has more than 15 governors from the north and only four in the south west. All the northern governors will vote for Atiku while the remaining four south-west governors will vote for Tinubu. Then comes the state chairmen of the party. All the 30 chairmen that went to pay the senate president homage will all vote for Atiku while all the the 6 Apc state chairmen from the southwest that boycotted going to see Sarki will vote for Tinubu. My people do the maths. The north will use their Numerical number to shift Tinubu one side. 2 Likes |

I like Atiku, as a person ooo, not as my president! I like Tinubu as a person ooo not as my president! But in this case, I think that post should go to Tinubu. Haba! that guy deserve it. Him and Buhari championed APC, Buhari is now president so tinubu should also hold a position. Where the hell was Atiku when Tinubu/Buhari and others were forming the party? And yes I am a northern! |

Lol! I told Jagbantis about the Northern Born-to-rule mentality, but he preferred them to Goodluck. The yorubas were shouting change, now I don't know which one they will shout. Heheheheheeh... I see they are no more on nairaland. After the elections they were laughing at the south-south and south-east. Now would they laugh at themselves? OREMUSSANCTUS: |
