Following threats by the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to sanction Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over remarks considered uncomplimentary against President Muhammadu Buhari, a member of the party’s National Working Committee NWC has said Adamu’s position is not that of the NWC.
Gatekeepers News reports that the National Vice Chairman, Northwest, of the APC, Salihu Lukman in his reaction said while Adamu has a right to his personal opinion, he cannot however force down his opinion on other members of the NWC and pass it as the position of the party.
He said; “We all including Asiwaju himself acknowledge that it was unfortunate he made those statements and it is his right to express his frustrations. It should be recognized as such.
“But nobody, no matter the position of the person can use it against him unless the party follows due process through the rightful organs of the party to discuss it.
“So, the opinion expressed by Abdullahi Adamu was his personal opinion and it is his own right to present it to any organ of the party for consideration, but until that opinion is adopted by the relevant organ of the party, it cannot be considered as the position of party. It is not the position of APC, it is hispersonal opinion personal opinion.”
Adamu had on Saturday voiced strong concerns about Tinubu’s outbursts on how he had helped President Muhammadu Buhari to power, threatening to punish him.
