Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Yekini Yekini Nabena, has
insisted that the party’s decision on the selection and zoning of principal
officers for the incoming 9th National Assembly is supreme.
Nabena stated this while speaking
with newsmen on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said that the party’s decision
must be respected by its legislative caucus and opposition lawmakers in the
National Assembly.
He, therefore, cautioned the
outgoing President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki and Speaker, House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara to steer clear of the leadership in both
legislative chambers, NAN reports
“The APC has learnt its lesson
from the outgoing National Assembly when impostors masquerading as party men
sabotaged our party and hijacked our mandate; affliction shall not rise up the
second time.
“The efforts by the Adams
Oshiomhole leadership of the party are commendable in achieving a fair selection
and zoning arrangement that appeals to a greater section of the party
stakeholders.
“APC has overwhelming majority in
the National Assembly and has a legitimate right to make its choices on the
selection and zoning of principal offices.
“The APC family is in agreement
on the party’s supremacy and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other
opposition parties should focus on their minority positions,” he said.
According to Nabena, the outgoing
President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara and the PDP NASS
caucus have been moving from pillar to post to frustrate the plan of APC.
He said the PDP had a hidden evil
plot to interfere in the emergence of incoming National Assembly leaders.
Nabena said that the APC was
aware of the scheming by Saraki, Dogara and the PDP caucus to interfere with
the emergence of the incoming National Assembly leadership.
“Their plans are bound to fail as
the APC is a strong party with unity of purpose,” he said.
