The Senate president, Bukola Saraki, has written to the APC national leadership, explaining why he ignored the party’s directives as regards the selection of principal officers.
His letter was in response to the one written by the APC national chairman, submitting the names of those who the party had chosen to occupy the positions.
Whereas the APC leadership wanted Ahmed Lawan as majority leader, the zonal caucuse chose Ali Ndume and his name was announced yesterday by Saraki.
Saraki said in the letter which he personally signed on June 25 that he remains loyal to the party but the rules of the senate clearly was at odds with the directives of the party and so he had to follow the rules.
