Trouble? Speaker Dogara & Deputy Lasun Absent At APC NEC Meeting
Yakubu Dogara, alongside his deputy, Suleiman Lasun are currently not attending the APC NEC meeting which is taking place in Abuja.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; and his deputy, Suleiman Lasun are conspicuously absent from the on-going National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress, according to a report by Punch.
The two are currently the highest ranking members of the party in the legislature following the decision of the Senate President Bukola Saraki to dump the party to join the opposition. Saraki’s deputy, Ike Ekweremadu is a member of the PDP.
Although the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole offered their apologies party watchers note that Dogara and Lasun are among top party leaders who have at one point or another voiced their displeasure over happenings within the party.
Lasun was particularly unhappy with the adoption of the direct method adopted for the Osun Governorship primary which he participated in and lost. The APC NEC is expected to announce a decision as to whether this system will be adopted for subsequent primaries.
