The National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has insisted he does not have
the power to choose who becomes the Senate President of the 9th National
Assembly.
Oshiomhole stated this while
speaking on Channels Television’s Hard Copy on Friday.
According to him, all he had done
about the issue was to engage members of the National Assembly and members of
the executive.
“Do I look like someone who can
appoint and impose somebody on the Senate, even if I wished to?” Oshiomhole
asked.
He said all he has is the power
to “persuade, the power to negotiate and the power to point out what might go
wrong”, if the party does not organise itself as to obtain a process for
electing leadership.
Oshiomhole also assured that each
of the six geopolitical zones will have a principal officer in the Senate and a
principal officer in the House of Representatives.
“What that Principal officer will
be, has not been resolved, we are currently discussing the zoning,” he added.
