The National vice-chairman of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Hilliard Eta, has said that Senators will
determine whether or not Bukola Saraki, will retain his position as Senate
President.
Eta, in an interview with the
Punch, said APC would not do anything to undermine a system its members fought
so hard to nurture to this level.
According to him, the ruling
party is not planning to force a change of leadership in the Senate as
speculated.
“We in the APC are progressives;
the concept and principle of progressivism is that the ordinary man must be at
the epicentre of all policies and actions of our government.
“As a party, we are not all
senators; we have senators in the Senate. Saraki was elected as the President
of the Senate by senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is the
senators that will decide whether Saraki remains their president or not.
“But I can say this, there are no
factions in the APC, we have one National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, nothing
has happened to give any clue to factionalisation in our party and the
constitution is very clear as to the grounds upon which defections can occur.
“For us as a party, we will
defend the law and the constitution of this country. The PDP I am told would do
everything in their power to defend Saraki, we will do everything legitimately
to defend the laws of the land and the constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria,” Eta said.
