The All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to unveil a Muslim-Muslim National Chairman and National Secretary according to sources familiar with happenings within the ruling party.
Ahead of the outcome of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) holding in Abuja today, the APC held a National Caucus meeting on Wednesday.
It was gathered that part of the resolutions from the caucus meeting is to recommend former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as the acting National Chairman and the immediate past spokesperson for the Senate, Senator Ajibola Basiru, as the acting National Secretary.
They would replace the resigned Abdullahi Adamu and lyiola Omisore respectively if approved.
Sources that spoke with Daily Sun on the matter however said some members of the NWC present at the Caucus meeting were not satisfied with the arrangement due to the religious imbalance in the government of the ruling party.
Apart from the party’s positions, the aggrived members also complained abiut the religious imbalance in political positions within the party including a Muslim President, Vice President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker.
“It is surprising that they could approve Muslim-Muslim for the National Chairman and National Secretary of the party. The implication is that the ruling party is now parading Muslim President, Vice President, Deputy Senate President, Speaker, party’s National Chairman and National Secretary.
“I don’t think anything can change but we have to put it on record that the actions of the leaders of the party is insensitive and condemnable. Despite the complaints that trailed the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, the pressure to sacrifice Abdullahi Adamu over religious imbalance, they still went ahead to impose Muslims Chairman and Secretary. It is very unfair,” the aggrieved source noted
