KAPIT: Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem has announced that he will be creating his own Barisan Nasional (BN) team to resolve the SPDP-Teras and SUPP-UPP impasse.
He said this decision was based on advice from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
“This means whoever that we choose will be the BN candidate for that area.
“This is the way to resolve (the impasse) once and for all; this is the way of the future, ” he said when officiating at the Sejiwa Senada programme here today (March 5).

“If my mandate is very weak, they will not listen to me,” he said.
