The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it was not consulted on the appointment of new principal officers, as announced by the National Assembly.
The National chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, revealed this when he hosted the Progressive Governors on Tuesday.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, on Tuesday, announced the new Principal Officers.
But Adamu told the governors that the party had no input in the names of the principal officers of the National Assembly.
“The election of the principal officers of the Senate by the Senate President and Deputy Senate President. The election of the speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives have been determined and announced and their responsibilities.
“The remaining offices will be determined by the two chambers is yet to be done. I had a courtesy call on Saturday from the President of the Senate and his Deputy. The following which was Sunday, I received the visit by the Speaker and his Deputy Speaker coming to me for Sallah’s homage.
“But, I am just hearing as a rumour now from the online media that there have been some announcements in the Senate and House of Representatives.
“The national headquarters of the party of the NWC has not given any such information or communicated about the choice of offices.
“And until we formally resolve and communicate with them in writing which is the norm and practice, it is not our intention to break away from traditions. So whatever announcement is done either the President of the Senate, Deputy Senate President, Speaker or Deputy Speaker, is not from this secretariat,” the National Chairman said.
