The National Chairman, All
Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has urged Gov. Bala Muhammed of
Bauchi State to submit to the rule of law by allowing APC lawmakers who are
majority to lead and pilot the affairs of Bauchi State House of Assembly.
Oshiomhole gave the advice on
Friday while meeting with APC legislators from Bauchi State House of Assembly
in Abuja, NAN reports.
The National chairman, who
described democracy as a game of numbers, said that democracy must be governed
by the rule of law.
“The laws are clear, democracy is
a game of numbers. Minority can never preside over majority in a democracy
because APC has 22 legislative members, PDP 8 and NNPC 1.
“There is no way PDP can produce
the speaker, the deputy speaker and other principal officers,” Oshiomhole said.
According to him, “I have briefed
the President in full, having met with you earlier when you shared with me the
details. I have had conversation with the Governor. So, I have all the facts.”
He urged Gov. Muhammed to borrow
a leaf from President Muhammadu Buhari to respect the rights and privileges of
APC members-elect in the State House of Assembly.
“I recall that our President
would always say that the right of our citizens must be respected even during
election.
“It is because of that liberal
disposition of the President that you can have a PDP person being proclaimed as
the Governor of Bauchi State after the last election,” Oshiomhole said.
