According to Adamu, the APC NWC had wished to receive the party's governors soon after the governorship election and state House of Assembly poll.
He added that the party had thought that it was important for Tinubu to be on the ground if they were to have an essential meeting with the progressives governors after the elections, but the president was away for five weeks.
Adamu then said when Tinubu returned to Nigeria, the issue of the leadership of the 10th National Assembly took centre stage, making their plans difficult to achieve.
