The peace of the graveyard in the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caved in on Friday when a member of the National Working Committee (NWC), Salihu Moh. Lukman, demanded the resignation of the National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu and the National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore, to balance the same faith presidential ticket adopted by the ruling party.
Lukman equally suggested that since the President-elect and Vice President-elect are all Muslims, efforts must be made for a Christian from either the South East or South South geopolitical zone to emerge the Senate President of the 10th Assembly for equity and balancing.
He also warned the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to resist the pressure and avoid the mistake of undermining his government by appointing politicians with zero experience in managing public service institutions to serve as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
