National Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu is currently facing revolt from some members of National Working Committee ((NWC) following the row that trailed the appointment of National Assembly Principal Officers.
Recall Abdulahi Adamu fumed against appointments of pro-coal officers by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and House Of Reps Tajudeen Abass.
Not less than three members of the national working committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) do not align with Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of the party, over his position on the selection of the national assembly principal officers.
On Tuesday, Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced Opeyemi Bamidele, senator representing Ekiti Central, as the majority leader, and David Umahi, lawmaker representing Ebonyi South, as the deputy majority leader.
In the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, the speaker, unveiled Julius Ihonvbere, a lawmaker representing Owan east/Owan west of Edo, as the majority leader; and Abdullahi Ibrahim Halims, a legislator representing Ankpa/Omala/Olamaboro of Kogi, was named the deputy majority leader.
Reacting to the development, Adamu had said the leadership of the party was not carried along in the nomination of the principal officers. But he is now faced with a divided house and it remains to be seen how he intends to resolve the current impasse
