Salihu Lukman, the National Vice Chairman for the North-West, should receive severe punishment, including the possibility of expulsion, according to Ahmad El-Marzuq, the APC’s national legal adviser, for suing the party and its top officials.
El-Marzuq’s advice was included in a leaked “legal opinion” dated April 28, 2023 that was sent to Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the party’s national chairman.
Even as this was happening, concerned members of the party’s National Working Committee established a committee to investigate the ongoing dispute between Adamu and the vice chair for the North-West in an effort to end the internal strife roiling the party.
