Adamawa APC endorses Lawan, Gbajabiamila for NASS leadership
The Adamawa State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken its stand over which candidates to support to man leadership positions in the incoming Ninth National Assembly.
While revealing its position, the party said it has thrown its weight behind the candidatures of Sen. Ahmed Lawal and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila for the leadership of the National Assembly.
The Organising Secretary of the party, Alhaji Ahmed Lawal, who noted that much in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yola, also added that the decision of the party leadership at the national level to endorse the pair was logical.
According to him, Lawal is already the Senate Majority Leader while Gbajabiamila is the House Leader.

“As far as Adamawa APC is concern, the decision of the national leadership of the party is final, hence party supremacy.
“The endorsement of Ahmed Lawal and Femi Gbajabiamila for national leadership is logical since they are leaders of the APC caucus in the national assembly.
“All members of the APC irrespective of their status should abide by the decision of our party leadership.
“Any decision taken by Adams Oshiomhole, and Ahmed Tinubu, who is the national leader of our dear party is in the best interest of the APC in particular and the nation in general.
“Any member of the party who oppose such a decision should be sanctioned immediately,” Lawal said.
