Tinubu Allegedly Angry with APC National Chairman, May Delay Inauguration of Lawmakers

• Speculations suggest that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may delay his inauguration as President-elect due to internal conflicts within the All Progressives Congress (APC).

• Tinubu is reportedly displeased with APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, over the selection of key positions in the 10th National Assembly.

• There are claims that the opposition parties plan to meet in Uyo to strategize on their own nominations for the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, raising concerns within the APC.

Speculations have arisen that the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, may postpone his inauguration due to conflicts within the All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding the selection of key roles in the 10th National Assembly.

According to reports, Tinubu is unhappy with the APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, for allegedly inciting lawmakers-elect to reject Tinubu’s preferred candidates for the Senate President and Speakership positions.

The appointments made by the APC’s National Working Committee have met with resistance, and there are claims that the opposition parties plan to strategize on their own nominations for the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in Uyo.

This has raised concerns within the APC, with some insiders alleging that Adamu is a mole within the party. Tinubu departed for Europe on a working visit, during which he plans to refine his transition plans and policy options with key aides.

However, sources suggest that he may delay the proclamation of the National Assembly until the APC can secure the required support and numbers, due to the current conflicts within the party.

The source, a senior member of the party, said: “Apart from that we are very much aware of all that the national chairman has been doing in the last four or so weeks. He has demonstrated nonchalance and an implicitly uncooperative attitude since the discussions commenced.

“Here is a man who was into the whole game since it started and here, the same man coming clandestinely to incite some senate presidential and house speakership aspirants to revolt against the president-elect’s decision which he took in the interest of the party and Nigeria.

“All we know is Adamu Abdulahi is a mole in this great party and must be shown the way out because we cannot trust him. We have so many reasons for this if we delay a little more than necessary, we may be having issues from May 29. We must find a solution to this menace called Adamu.

“How can a man who leads a party provide weapon and tool for the opposition to fight the ruling party under the guise of aggrieved aspirants to leadership positions in the National Assembly. As it stands, we are more than convinced that he is a mole.”

The source has expressed concerns about an upcoming retreat for opposition parties in Uyo, which is aimed at developing strategies to challenge the ruling party during the inauguration of both Chambers.

The source said, “And I must shock you; this man is already aware that the PDP and other opposition parties are going to Uyo for a retreat and the purpose of that trip is to map out strategies on how our party will be humbled during g the inauguration of both Chambers.”
