The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria has expressed displeasure with the outcome of the National Assembly leadership election, calling it Treachery.



Contrary to the party’s choice of candidates in a mock election over the weekend, Mr Bukola Saraki emerged the Senate President while Mr Yakubu Dogara clinched the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Both persons are members of the APC.

After the result of the House of Representatives’ election was announced by the Clark of the House, the ruling party said the outcome of the elections of the two chambers was “totally unacceptable and the highest level of indiscipline and treachery”.

The party had chosen Senator, Ahmed Lawan for the Senate President’s position and Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, as the its candidate for the position of the Speaker.

Necessary Sanctions

In a statement, the spokesman of the party, Mr Lai Mohammed, said: “Senator Bukola and Hon. Dogara are not the candidates of the APC and a majority of its National Assembly members-elect for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker.

“The party duly met and conducted a straw poll and clear candidates emerged for the posts of Senate President, Deputy Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, supported by a majority of all Senators-elect and members-elect of the House of Representatives. All National Assembly members-elect who emerged on the platform of the party are bound by that decision.

”The party is supreme and its interest is superior to that of its individual members”.

According to Mr Mohammed, “the APC leadership is meeting in a bid to re-establish discipline in the party and to mete out the necessary sanctions to all those involved in what is nothing but a monumental act of indiscipline and betrayal to subject the party to ridicule and create obstacles for the new administration.

“APC decried a situation in which some people, based on nothing but inordinate ambition and lack of discipline and loyalty, will enter
into an unholy alliance with the very same people whom the party and indeed the entire country worked hard to replace and sell out the hard won victory of the Party.

”There can be no higher level of treachery, disloyalty and insincerity within any party,” the party said, vowing to resolve the matter using all constitutional and legal means available to it.

Meanwhile, the APC has asked all its loyal Senators-elect to report to the Senate to be sworn-in in order to discharge their
constitutional duties, apparently accepting the outcome of the election.

Lie mohammed should go and die.When he was cheering tambuwal on he forgot that karama is a biatch

Una eye neva clear yet.

Liar Mohammed..na so madness dey start
Hit like For Senate President Buhari

Liar Mohammed..na so madness dey start
Hit like For Our Senate President Saraki

APC will end up as PDP lead by Jonathan where majority of legislators defected and purged GEJ government if care is not taken and by this time it will be worst because they lost the higher and lower legislative chambers.

The drama has just stated. 

1st to do the tin dey pain
2nd to do there eye go red.

Common to concede defeat in inter party issues they can't upon the whole clear scenario where the winners won with majority. But they will condemn calling our GEJ Hero who left his interest for the peace of the nation. Hypocrites.

Lai muhammed back to opposition

So Tambuwal's election was treachery? Ha ha.

Ezenwammadu:
Lie mohammed should go and die

They can cry me a river who cares?

u nah never start !!!

cry me river Mr liar mumuhammed !!!

the beginning of APC undoing.

PDP just taught APC a bitter lesson- Put ur house in order or someone watching from d fence will take over ur house leadership

The Party thinks loyalty to the party is more important than loyalty to the nation, unfortunately It's learning the hard way

Agwo annang ade agwo uko

Beautiful response. This is why I'm in love with APC.

Lie muhammed can take the next rope

They should take the bitter pill even though its hard to swallow... PDP just taught them that they are master in the game and ain't a party built on propaganda.

When they did same with Tambuwal, they were happy.

They only paid them back in their own coin.

The should remove saraki and leave dogara.

People villified Gov Aliyu Babangida when he said there is no morality in politics.

Has he not been proved right?

who are the "the" they?

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that though he would have preferred that the process of electing the leaders as initiated and concluded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) had been followed, he was ready to work with the leadership of the National Assembly that emerged on Tuesday. In his reaction to the election of Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara as the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively, President Buhari said that “a constitutional process has somewhat occurred”. Buhari’s position which was conveyed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adeshina reiterated that his earlier statement that he had no preferred candidates in the election of the President of Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives still stands. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/buhari-expresses-reservation-on-emergence-of-speaker-senate-president/#sthash.xm0L1jg0.dpuf
