Amid the raging crisis over the leadership of the 10th
National Assembly, President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ruled out the
possibility of a repeat of the 8th Assembly saga when the opposition outfoxed
the All Progressives Congress, APC, to head the country’s legislature.
Tinubu, represented by the National Vice Chairman, APC
Southwest, Isaac Kekemeke, disclosed this during a lecture organized in honour
of Afenifere Leader, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, who marked his 97th birthday at
the weekend.
According to him, the party still has enough time to bring
the warring factions together before the inauguration of the National Assembly.
He allayed fears that the opposition would hijack the leadership of the National Assembly.
“Opposition will not take over the National Assembly; both
the President-elect and party are working tirelessly to ensure that whatever
you perceive as anger will be sorted out, and this is a democracy,” he said.
A week ago, APC endorsed Senator Godwill Akpabio and
Tajudeen Abbas as Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker.
Since then, aspirants for the 10th NASS leadership have
threatened to boycott the party.
In 2015, Bukola Saraki and Hon Yakubu Dogara emerged as
winners of the leadership of the National Assembly against the wishes of the
ruling APC.
