According to the News Agency of Nigeria, The Adamawa Chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC) has thrown its weight behind the candidatures of Sen. Ahmed Lawan and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila for the leadership of the 9th National Assembly.
Alhaji Ahmed Lawal, state Organising Secretary of the party, made the declaration in an interview on Saturday in Yola.
Lawal, who said he was speaking on behalf of the party, said that the decision of the party leadership at the national level to endorse the duo was logical.
According to him, Lawan is already the Senate Majority Leader while Gbajabiamila is the House Leader. He said that the decision of the party was binding on all APC senators and members of the House of Representatives.
He condemned the activities of some members of the party who were opposing the decision of the APC leadership.
The organising secretary commended Tinubu for his contributions to the party from its formation in 2013 till date.
Lawal urged the national leader of the party not to be deterred by marginal internal wrangling and remain resolute to work toward sustainability of APC for taking Nigeria to ‘Next Level’.
The APC National Leadership has endorsed Lawan and Gbajabiamila as Senate President and Speaker, House of Representatives respectively.
However, some APC members at the NASS were allegedly opposing the decision of the party on the endorsement.
