All Progressives Congress, APC has faulted Mr Ali Ndume for opposing Mr Adams Oshiomhole’s position on the Senate presidency.

Mr Isa-Onilu, APC National Publicity Secretary, said Ndume had no choice but to abide by the party’s decision on the matter if indeed he was a true APC member.

He said the decision to endorse Lawan was not that of Oshiomhole alone but that of the party, including President Muhammadu Buhari, the party’s National Working Committee, state governors and other respected party leaders.

He reminded the senator of the supremacy of the party.

The party’s spokesman added, “The ticket he is holding belongs to APC and he cannot go and work with the opposition to give what belongs to APC to the opposition, like it happened in 2015 when the position of the Deputy Senate President was given to the opposition by some desperate former members of APC.

“Ndume will be wrong to be calling out the party’s national chairman. The national chairman spoke on behalf of the party. And when we talk of the party in this instance, it is not just about NWC.

“The President was there when he said it. He did not say anything that the President was not aware of. He did not say anything that leaders of APC are not already part of.”
