PDP planning to hijack incoming National Assembly leadership, says Nabena

- APC chieftain, Mr Yekini Nabena has alleged that the PDP are planning to hijack the incoming National Assembly

- The deputy national publicity secretary of the ruling party, cautioned against repeat of the 2015 National Assembly leadership crisis

- Nabena urged the APC to urgently put in place an inclusive and fair internal zoning/selection arrangement

The deputy national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Yekini Nabena has alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are planning to hijack the incoming National Assembly.

In order to avoid a repeat of the political crisis that followed the election of the National Assembly leadership in 2015, Nabena urged the party leadership to urgently put in place an inclusive and fair internal zoning/selection arrangement to enable the APC caucus produce all its preferred principal officers for the incoming Senate and House of Representatives.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Saturday, March 2, Nabena urged President Muhammadu Buhari to play a lead role in the APC's internal selection arrangement for the incoming 9th National Assembly.

His words: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lost the presidential election and they have now adopted a plan B from their infamous Dubai strategy meeting to hijack the incoming National Assembly leadership by repeating their heinous coup in the previous assembly.

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) must prevent a repeat of a situation where despite our overwhelming majority in the outgoing 8th Senate and House of Representatives, the National Assembly leadership was hijacked by saboteurs and their opposition PDP collaborators.

“Nigerians will recall how the outgoing 8th National Assembly under Bukola Saraki sabotaged the present administration in pursuit of selfish political interest of the PDP. But for the principled, focused and dogged governance of President Muhammadu Buhari, many of the unprecedented developmental achievements recorded would have been completely sabotaged.

“The National Assembly is a strategic arm of government to achieve the change agenda for the country. I call on the party’s leadership to urgently set out mechanisms for the zoning/selection of our preferred principal officers who will join the President Buhari administration in implementing our change agenda.

“Aside being president, Muhammadu Buhari is a respected father figure among party members and supporters. His direct involvement and views will be very important as the party works around the zoning/selection arrangements.”

Meanwhile, the PDP in Abia state has rejected the result of Abia North senatorial election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the zone on Saturday, February 23.

In an emergency meeting of the state working committee of the party presided over by the chairman of the party in the state, Sir Johnson Onuigbo, the party said, “after a critical review of the election, including unlawful manipulations and unjustifiable cancellations, concluded that, at best, the election was inconclusive and should be so declared by INEC.”

INEC had announced the former Abia state governor, Dr Orji Uzor-Kalu of the APC, as the winner of the keenly contested polls.
