APC NWC’s ‘Ambiguous’ Letter Deepens NASS Leadership Tussle

…As Gbajabiamila’s Men Go After Members-Elect For Signatures

The jostle for leadership positions in the 10th National Assembly became further heightened as lawmakers ostensibly loyal to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila commenced a lobbying drive to collect signatures from members-elect.

The development followed what an NWC member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) described as a ‘deliberate ambiguity’ in the press statement issued by the party.

According to him: “the whole scenario is totally different from what used to be. We usually zone to areas or zones and possibly allow persons interested to view the positions zoned to them.

“But in this case, we were merely handed over what they said had been agreed upon without any input or deliberations from us(NWC).

“So since that is what they want, we have equally given it back to them and the public to begin to look deeper into whatever ambiguity they can find because we were deliberate and very cautious in our correspondence because we are not babies.

“It is now left for stakeholders to seek whatever intervention, interpretation and clarifications at any level.”

As at the time of this report, a meeting of freshers under the aegis of the New Dawn that is disposed to Tajudeen Abbas was about to commence.

“The meeting was billed to collate signatures but only about 23 of the new members out of over 200 had arrived but a few declined pending their signatures.
