WHY APC REMOVED NDUME AS SENATE LEADER.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has explained that the removal
of the former Senate Leader, Sen. Ali Ndume was necessary.
Ndume was replaced with Ahmed Lawan last week by the APC
caucus.
Odigie-Oyegun, who made this statement when he received the
new leader, Lawan at the party’s secretariat in Abuja, said he
was happy that the long-standing rift among party members
had been settled.
“We all regret that it took so long for us to arrive at the
position we are today. What is important is that it has finally
happened. What is important is that the APC caucus in the
Senate is now a one united body,” said Odigie-Oyegun.
Speaking earlier, Lawan stated that his election as the new
Senate Leader was a clear demonstration of the supremacy of
his party, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
He said there was now no excuse for the party’s caucus in the
Senate not to perform, considering the fact the leadership
tussle has been settled.
According to him, “Last Tuesday marked the day our colleagues
from the APC Senate caucus decided to do what the party
wanted in recognition of the party supremacy, not only to
restore stability in the Senate caucus but to the highest level
of the party and of course, stability in our polity and
government.”
He further assured the National Chairman of the party, Chief
John Odigie-Oyegun, of the end of factionalization of the
Senate.
“Mr Chairman, at some point, we were divided but right now, I
am the Senate Leader and we no longer have the ‘Like Minds’
or ‘Unity Group,’ we have become a united APC caucus.
