Suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal
Members of the All Progressives Congress have begun to jostle for
the position of the suspended Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Babachir Lawal, at the National Working Committee of the
party, Punch has reported.
Before he was appointed the SGF, Lawal was the National Vice
Chairman (North- East) of the APC, a position that has been vacant since
then.
Saturday PUNCH gathered in Abuja on Friday that the delay in
holding the inaugural bi-annual APC National convention is affecting
plans to hold the ward and zonal congresses from where the new National
Vice Chairman is expected to emerge before it is ratified by the
National Convention.
For now , three persons namely: Alhaji Usman Iya -Abbas, Umar Sani
(Sanda ) and the pioneer APC National Vice Chairman, North- West , Umar
Duhu, are leading the park of contenders.
Of the three, Duhu is said to be making a strong case for a
comeback having stepped aside in favour of Lawal, as part of the APC
merger agreement.
Duhu who hails from Adamawa State , is considered a loyalist of
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is a chieftain of the APC. He
hails from the same constituency with former Political Adviser to ex
-President Goodluck Jonathan , Ahmed Gulak , as well as a former Adamawa
State Acting Governor , James Ngilari.
