APC has distanced itself from the new Speakers of the Federal Houses of Assembly
APC has said that the Elders do not choose the Leaders based on her advice and agreement.
This was said by APC Chairman Abdullahi Adamu at a meeting with the party's Governors on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said there is no APC and no one to talk to about its leaders.
The story of how Senator Ndume became Speaker of the Senate and Senator Umuahi became Deputy Speaker of the Senate has been told in PREMIUM TIMES.
Senator Dave, who used to be governor of Ebonyi, was chosen as Senate Majority Leader. Senator Ndume, who is from Barno State, was chosen as Senate Speaker.
Lola is the Vice Whip of Congress.
They were accepted without any trouble because the APC party said they were good enough.
They were chosen a month after Akpabio became President of the Senate and Barau Jibrin became his second-in-command.
Senator Godswill Akpabio from Akwa Ibom state was chosen as the new Senate President by the new 10th Senate.
The Deputy Speaker of the Senate will be Senator Barau Jibrin from Kano State.
Akpabio comes from the South East, and Barau Jibrin comes from the North West.
Akpabio beat Senator Abdul'aziz Yari from Zamfara State. Akpabio got 63 votes there, while Yari only got 46.
At 8:45 a.m., the election began at the Senate Hall, where Akpabio was sworn in right away after being chosen.
After democracy came back in the Fourth Republic, Akpabio became the 9th President of the Senate.
Senator Barau Jibrin was elected as the Deputy Speaker of the Senate because he didn't have a challenger.
David Umahi and Sani Mustapha, both from Kwara State, asked to be chosen, and it was okayed.
Akpabio is a former governor of Akwa Ibom State. After he quit in 2015, at the end of Goodluck Jonathan's term, he was accused of stealing 102 billion naira.
