Sen Abdullahi Adamu, the APC national chairman, has hinted that the matter will be revisited following a series of protests by other aspirants.

“The saving grace is that our speaker-in-waiting, Betara, who was invited to meet the president-elect in Paris, was bold enough to tell them that he would rather fail on the House floor on inauguration day than withdraw for Abbas.”

“The funny thing is that they are deceiving themselves if they believe the G6 can be broken.”
“Unless the president-elect personally interacts with them, the guys are determined to pursue a common goal to the end,” the source said.
