Crack In APC Exco As Vice-Chairman Accuses Adamu Of Toeing Oshiomhole’s Steps

A major crack has opened in the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) after a national officer of the party accused the national chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu of toeing the steps of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

The National Vice-Chairman, Northwest, Salihu Lukman in a memo circulated to some national officers of the party, President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo also muttered over the delayed screening of presidential aspirants in the party.

Lukman, in the memo dated May 27, 2022 and addressed to Adamu, with the title, “Rebuilding the APC:  Need for New Initiatives,” while noting good things carried out by the Adamu leadership, nevertheless, stressed the need to avoid past errors in the administration of the party.

According to him, Adamu was gradually toeing the old path of the leadership style of Comrade Adams Oshiomole and Mai Mala Buni, where decisions are taken but left unimplemented and members not carried along in the scheme of things.

The letter reads in part, “Under your leadership, the current NWC is gradually snowballing into similar circumstances where decisions are taken and allowed to lay bare, and in some instances, changed without necessarily taking the needed steps to carry members along.

“Presidential aspirants are yet to be screened. The official explanation is that you are awaiting final consultation with President Buhari. At the risk of sounding agitated, this is unfair to the president because to the best of my understanding, it is an attempt to use his name to give excuses for failure.

“I find it necessary to send this letter to further appeal to you to review our approaches under the current NWC under your leadership. It is now two months since we came into office and you have so far raised a lot of expectations given that some of the problems, which undermined the support base of previous leadership, would appear to have been minimised.

“For instance, meetings of the NWC are now held almost every week. Members participate actively, and where necessary, engage and contest issues.

“It is to your credit that you accept the positions of members even when you disagree. This is a remarkable departure from what was obtained in the past where the national chairman conduct meetings of party organs as chief executive, and to that extent, therefore, exercises prerogatives and overrules members.

“The big challenge is ensuring that decisions taken are faithfully implemented. The inability of the previous leadership under Adams Oshiomhole and Mai Mala Buni to implement decisions taken were partly responsible for the leadership crisis that confronted the party,” Lukman said in his memo revealing the crack in the Adamu led leadership of the APC.
