UMNO president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak described the 2016 UMNO General Assembly as the best one for him because he had a leadership lineup that was compatible with him.
He said the top UMNO leadership lineup currently was solid, with a strong stand, Wala' as well as commitment.
Najib also said he did not doubt the loyalty of the top UMNO leadership lineup who were now behind him.
"This is the UMNO leadership team who will go down on the ground to fight all out," he said in his winding-up speech at the conclusion of the 2016 UMNO General Assembly, here today.
Earlier in his speech, Najib named the UMNO leadership line-up including his deputy, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi whose loyalty he had never doubted and vice-president Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
"I have never doubted (Ahmad Zahid's loyalty), I don't have to look behind me, He can stand behind me, I'm not afraid," he said referring to Ahmad Zahid, the vice-president who is carrying out the duty of Deputy President.
Najib, who is the Member of Parliament for Pekan, also praised UMNO information chief, Tan Sri Annuar Musa who defended him in the interview on Bernama News Channel (BNC).
Najib added that he had the opportunity to watch the programme yesterday where Annuar was interviewed live by moderator Dahlan Maamor on political and UMNO issues.
"His (Annuar's) comment was very positive. He defended me and explained why he did not ask me to step down (from the leadership of the country)," he added. -Bernama
