Political Parties Accuse APC Of Plans To Change NASS Leadership

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has alleged that the All Progressives Congress has concluded plans to overthrow the current leadership of the National Assembly.

Raising the alarm while addressing a press conference in Abuja on Sunday, Ikenga Ugochinyere, spokesperson for CUPP said the plan is to effect the forced change when the lawmakers reconvene for plenary on Tuesday, January 29, 2019.

He added that the sum of $70,000 had been earmarked for each senator, and $40,000 for each member of the House of Representatives to carry out the act.

His words: “The plot will see the criminal announcement of Senator Ahmed Lawan as factional Senate President, Senator Hope Uzodinma as factional Deputy Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio as factional Senate Leader.

“In the House of Representatives, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila will be announced as the factional Speaker, while Honourable Abdul Jubril will be announced as the factional Deputy Speaker.

“The arrowheads of these treasonable plots in the National Assembly Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Senator Ali Ndume, Senator George Akume and Senator Kabiru Gaya, while the members of the House of Representatives are being led in this plot to destroy democracy and they are being led by Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, Honourable Jubril and Honourable Agbonayinman.

“To ensure that the evil plot goes successfully, the APC has mapped out the sum of $70,000 for each senator and $40,000 for each House of Representative member for what it calls welfare since a majority of them have been compelled to be in town suddenly.”
