10th NASS: APC Won’t Waste Time Filling Remaining Principal Offices – Adamu

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it would waste no time with sorting out the issue of those who will occupy the remaining principal offices of the National Assembly (NASS).

The national chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, stated this yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

He said the process that produced the leadership of the 10th NASS had left the party with some lessons.

He attributed the successful inauguration of the 10th Assembly and the election of the preferred candidates of the party into leadership of the two chambers to thorough consultations and giving respect to those who deserved it.

Responding to the question of how the party managed to have its preferred choices elected, Adamu said “Very thorough consultations and respect for all those who deserve respect, this is what took us through this very important step in the important arm of government.

“We’re going to sit over this and we want to believe that we’re going to waste no time whatsoever, we’ll come up with what we’ll give the President to get his buy-in before it’s made public or before it goes to the National Assembly. This day is very historic”, he said.
