Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says it will be strange if the
ruling party is experiencing “graveyard peace”.
While appearing on Arise
Television on Tuesday, the party chairman said the APC is prone to controversies
because it is a large party.
Last week, the party chairman was
detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) and grilled for nine hours
after some governors alleged that he received bribes during the party’s primary
elections across the country.
But he said aggrieved members of
the party were allowed to grumble but the party has moved on and has put in
place internal procedures for reconciliation.
“We have finished our primaries
and we have submitted names to INEC and there are internal procedures for
reconciliation and we are working on them,” he said.
“We are a large governing party
and it will only be strange if we are having graveyard peace. People are
allowed to grumble and grumbling is allowed. We should move on and find
solutions.”
When asked whether the party
still has plans to remove Senate President Bukola Saraki, he said, “I think
it’s about morality. We just had an election in the US. The democrats won more
members in the congress. Without much ado, the leadership of the house changed.
This question didn’t have to arise. Saraki belongs to a minority party as it
stands today in the senate. The truth about democracy is that it’s a game of
numbers. It’s unacceptable that minority provides leadership over majority.”
