The ruling All Progressives Congress has called on elected officials and political officeholders appointed on the platform of the party to respect and take party supremacy seriously. The issue of party supremacy was recently put to the test in the build-up to the election of Senate and House of Representatives leaders in July 2023. Addressing the audience on Saturday, Morka expressed concern that there is a growing pattern among elected officials who he claimed often forget about party supremacy and start formulating personal policies once they assume positions of power. Once elected officials get into government, they begin to formulate their own policies. There is a kind of relationship that ought to exist where elected officials should seek for input and ask for direction.
