Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the
house of representatives, says only by enthroning justice and equity that the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be able to silence voices of
dissent and opposition.
He said this at a meeting between
the APC caucus in the house of representatives and members of the newly elected
national working committee of the party led by Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the party.
The meeting took place at the
national assembly complex in Abuja.
“In every family whether it is a
nuclear, extended or an organisation there is bound to be problem and that is
because we human that are running those institutions are not perfect ourselves.
So, we don’t expect perfection in from any quarters,” he said.
“Our only expectation is the
issue of justice and justice is indivisible. What is justice to the executive
should be justice to the legislature and it should be justice to the judiciary.
“What is justice to the president
and the vice-president should be justice to the governor and it has to be
justice for the members of the national assembly, because you can’t divide
justice. Once you begin to divide justice you don’t have justice.
“And once we are able to get
these things in their proper perspectives, to some extent, we will be able to
silence the voices of dissent within the party… we mustn’t allow our problems
to define us rather we should define our problems as a party.”
He expressed optimism that
Oshiomhole would tackle the challenges confronting the party.
“I know that you came
well-prepared. We can only wish you well and pray for God’s additional wisdom
because human wisdom won’t be enough as you navigate very treacherous terrain we
pray God wisdom for you,” he said.
Oshiomhole told the lawmakers
that every person in the party matters.
He said all members of the ruling
party voluntarily moved from various political platforms to give birth to the
APC.
He said the idea of delivering
the “greater good for the greater number of Nigerian citizens is what binds the
APC together and defines us in spite of the teething problems we were bound to
experience that every new organisation goes through”.
