Shettima, APC Leaders meet NASS lawmakers
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has convened a meeting at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja for senators-elect and members of the House of Representatives-elect. The meeting is being attended by Senator Kashim Shettima, the running mate of the President-elect.

The meeting is considered necessary to avoid a repeat of the 2015 scenario that produced Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara as President of the Senate and Speaker respectively against the wish of the party leadership. This move by the APC is an attempt to ensure that the party's preferred candidates are elected to key leadership positions in the National Assembly.

In attendance at the meeting are APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, APC National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC). Journalists have been barred from covering the meeting.

The APC has been plagued by internal crises since the 2019 general elections, with some party members accusing the leadership of imposing candidates on the party. This meeting is seen as an attempt to address these grievances and foster unity within the party.

The meeting is expected to focus on strategies to ensure that the party's preferred candidates are elected to key leadership positions in the National Assembly. It is also expected to address other issues such as party discipline, the role of party members in the legislative process, and the need for unity within the party.

The APC leadership has expressed confidence that the meeting will be successful in achieving its objectives. The party has also urged its members to cooperate and work towards the success of the meeting.

The meeting comes ahead of the inauguration of the 9th National Assembly in June 2019. The APC currently has a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives and is expected to produce the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The APC has been working to ensure that its preferred candidates are elected to these positions, in order to ensure that the party's legislative agenda is implemented. The party has also expressed its commitment to working with the National Assembly to address the challenges facing the country.

The meeting is also expected to provide an opportunity for the APC leadership to interact with the newly elected lawmakers and discuss the party's vision for Nigeria. The party has emphasized the need for a united front in order to achieve its objectives.

The APC has called on all its members to put aside their differences and work together to ensure the success of the meeting. The party has also urged Nigerians to support its efforts to build a better Nigeria.
