PDP plotting secret voting to take over 9th National Assembly, APC senators-elect allege
Some All Progressives Congress Senators-elect are suspecting the Peoples Democratic Party of plotting a secret ballot voting system to hijack the leadership of the National Assembly.
An APC senator-elect accused the PDP of “already laying political landmines in the path of APC” with a view to having the legislative gavel by proxy. “You know the former Clerk of the Senate allowed the forged Rule Book to be used during the inauguration of the 8th Senate as he capitalised on the absence of APC Senators in the red chamber and to complicate the situation Senator Saraki insisted on using the forged book after he was sworn in as the Senate President.
A senator-elect explained: “We underrated the capacity of PDP to go to any length to achieve its aims and objectives during 2015 elections of presiding officers of the National Assembly while we were totally naïve about the crucial role of the bureaucracy in the scheme of things in the legislature, a situation that turned the table in favour of the opposition despite being in the minority.
“We want to prove that we have what it takes to be taken serious as a real alternative to the APC by Nigerians. We can only do these when we live up to the people’s expectation from an opposition party, especially in the national assembly. The Southwest PDP Frontiers , led by Asipa Iyanda Adeoye Ogunfojuri, in a statement by him and Ameen Adekanye warned the party against repeating the alleged ill-treatment meted out to the zone during the struggle for the position of national chairman.
“The Southwest will no longer agree to be sacrificed within the opposition party, more so when we have eminently qualified persons that can serve in the said capacity.”also gathered that some PDP stakeholders from the Northcentral recently met leaders of the party in the zone and expressed their desire to have Senator Dino Melaye supported to lead the PDP caucus in the senate.
