A group named Renewed Hope Professionals, (RHP), has urged the All Progressive Congress (APC) to reverse the endorsements of anointed candidates in the National Assembly leadership race.

In a statement signed by Kinu Kabirwa, the Coordinator, the group said endorsing a candidate violates the provisions of Section 50 sub section 1b of the Constitution.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC had earlier announced Sen. Godswill Akpabio and Rep. Tajudeen Abass as consensus candidates for Senate President and Speaker positions. The group called on the President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu to reverse the decision of the NWC to allow for the independence of the legislature.
