Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday
wrote to the Senate president, Dr Bukola Saraki and the
speaker, House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, to
convey the party’s approval of Senator Ahmed Lawan and
Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila as majority leaders in the two
chambers of the 8th National Assembly.
The APC national working committee also approved Senator
George Akume and five others as principal officers.
The APC leaders’ position was communicated to both the
president of the Senate and the speaker, House of
Representatives, by the national chairman of the APC, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun, in a separate letters.
In the letters to Saraki and Dogara respectively, Oyegun
asked them to take “necessary action” on these
recommendations.
The letter to the Senate presidents reads, “Please find below
for your necessary action names of principal officers
approved by the party after excessive consultations for the
8th Senate as follow:
“Majority Leader: Senator Ahmed Lawan, PhD (North East);
Chief Whip: Sen. Prof Sola Adeyeye (South West); Deputy
Majority Leader: Sen. Dr George Akume (North Central);
Deputy Chief Whip: Sen. Abu Ibrahim (North West).”
The text of a similar letter to the House Speaker listed the
approved principal officers as:
House Leader: Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila (South West); Deputy
House Leader: Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa (North West); Chief
Whip: Hon. M.T. Monguno (North East); Deputy Chief Whip:
Hon. Pally Iriase (South South).
The APC adopted the lists submitted by The Unity Forum
(Senate) and The Loyalists (House of Representatives) to heal
the wounds and reconcile all after the June 9 controversial
NASS leadership elections.
LEADERSHIP learnt that more than 12 members of the APC
NWC supported the recommended candidates.
It remains to be seen whether both Saraki and Dogara will
accept the party’s position.
The duo won elections in the two legislative chambers with
the backing of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
against the APC leaders’ position that recommended the two
legislators now being proposed to work with them as majority
leaders.
