The crack in the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) is widening by the day, as the party’s national legal adviser, Ahmad Usman El-Marzuq, has demanded the expulsion of national vice chairman (North West) of the party, Salihu Moh. Lukman.
In a leaked internal memo sighted by journalists yesterday, El-Marzuq, a member of the APC National Working Committee (NWC), asked the national chairman, Sen Abdullahi Adamu, to expel Lukman for dragging the party, the national chairman and national secretary, Iyiola Omisore, to court over alleged breach of the party’s constitution.
When contacted for his reaction to the development, Lukman dismissed El-Murzaq’s call for his expulsion as the personal opinion of the national legal adviser till it is tabled before the NWC.
He said, “My simple reaction is that I hope this will be tabled at the NWC meeting because only then it will become a threat, for now the memo is just an opinion of the National Legal Adviser, but I will react to it at the appropriate time. Thank you.”
