The party last week opted out of the ongoing debate on the desirability of participating in the Government of National Unity (GNU) proposed by President Yar’Adua for leading opposition political parties.

But speaking shortly after a visit to Aso Rock last weekend, Na’Abba declared that he will serve in the new cabinet, if invited. He noted that as a national leader, he cannot be dictated to by any party.

Reacting to the comment, National Publicity Secretary of AC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said though the party leaders were yet to speak with the former speaker on the issue, the party will expel any of its members that takes appointment with the PDP government.

He said, "we want to hear from Na’Abba first. But we will sanction any member of the party who takes appointment with the new government."

Corroborating Mohammed’s position, a chieftain of the party, Alhaji Lawan Kaita stated that AC will deal with any of its member that accepted to serve in the government.

Though Kaita said the party has nothing against President Yar’Adua as a person, he said AC would not be part of the administration since the terms it gave for such participation were not met by the government.

For now, he said the pre-occupation of the party was to faithfully follow its case at the tribunal to a logical conclusion.
