Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the new National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, has said current and former governors of the party are the architect behind some of the crisis rocking the party.
Adamu was speaking in his opening address at the 11th National Executive Committee NEC meeting of the APC holding at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja.
While he declared that state governors are leaders of the party in their states, Adamu said the APC constitution has provision for dual leadership in the states.
He conceded that former governors are leaders in their own rights, urging serving governors to accord them all the necessary respect.
The meeting is being attended by President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila and other critical stakeholders who are members of the NEC.
