An official of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, has alleged of plot by the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki to hijack the constitution of the leadership of the 9th Senate.
Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of APC, Yekini Nabena alleged that Saraki, Kogi West Senator, Dino
Melaye and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, caucus were plotting to decide
the leadership of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Speaking with newsmen on Tuesday
in Abuja, Nabena alleged that Saraki and PDP have devised plans to ensure that
their loyalists take control of the legislative arm of government.
According to Nabena: “The
outgoing Senate President and the PDP caucus have begun surreptitious move to
lure some new APC lawmakers with juicy committee position in return for their
support for the PDP choice for the leadership of the Senate and House of
Representatives.
“Already, Saraki’s henchman, Dino
Melaye and some other returning PDP federal lawmakers have scheduled meetings
with some APC lawmakers from Wednesday to Sunday in a yet-to-be announced
venue.
“It is important that the APC
leadership meet and urgently roll out a fair zoning arrangement to ensure that
we produce our preferred candidates for all leadership positions in the
incoming National Assembly.
“Since Saraki lost his bid to
return to the Senate and control of his home state, Kwara, he has devised a
plan to ensure that he influences the choice of the incoming National Assembly
Leadership. This is Saraki’s last-ditch effort to remain politically relevant,”
he said.
