Abdullahi Adamu, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said he is not aware that 192 lawmakers are planning to exit the ruling party.
Recall POLITICS NIGERIA had reported on Sunday that the Planning and Strategy Committee of the Bola Tinubu Campaign Organisation notified the hierarchy of the APC to the possibility of about 192 National Assembly (NASS) members defecting from the ruling party to opposition parties.
This follows the outcome of the party primaries in May and June where some top members failed in their bid to secure their return ticket.
The committee was chaired by a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.
In an interview with Arise TV on Sunday, when made aware of the alleged plan, Adamu replied: “For what reason?”
He added: “As the National Chairman of our great party, it is not in my place to lead by speculation. I’m aware Babachir has made known his dislike for the Muslim-Muslim ticket. But I’m not aware that 192 lawmakers are leaving the APC for whichever party.”
