The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has described
the present composition of the leadership of the
National Assembly, the Senate headed by Senator Bukola
Saraki and the House of Representatives led by Yakubu
Dogara, as pro-Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mohammed, while speaking on Sunrise Daily on
Channels Television and monitored by PM News on
Wednesday, stated that the action of some of its
members over what happened last Tuesday during the
inauguration of the eighth National Assembly deserves
punishment.

“What we have in the Senate now is a pro-PDP Senate
which is not in the interest of our party. How do you
expect us to sit with Senators Ike Ekweremadu and
David Mark and discuss matters of national importance?

“These are part of the old PDP order we struggled to
defeat at the centre. So how can we (APC) then sit down
with them to discuss issues of national importance with
these people?” He queried.

When reminded that the APC
still controls majority at the National Assembly,
Mohammed stated that the National Assembly
leadership as currently constituted is an ally of the PDP,
“because it got its mandate through the block votes of
the PDP.

Remember there were only eight APC senators
who voted for Saraki.
“The balance which is 49 are from PDP. In the House of
Representatives, only 30 APC members voted for
Dogara. So you can see that the National Assembly is
pro-PDP.

“They even overreached themselves by naming David
Mark as the Senate Leader before they realised the
illegality of their action and reversed themselves.”
Mohammed stated further that in as much as the party
would not want to lose its members, those involved will
still be sanctioned because “the indiscipline should not
be allowed to go just like that.

If this is allowed to go,
then it means any member can perpetrate bigger
indiscipline and hope to get away with it.”

In as much as I agree they need to be punished for their treachery, I think the party leadership should find a quiet way of doing it, and not this public brouhaha.

APC should learn to settle their problems privately because d public will only help to destroy d party even more
Lai said they can't sit down and discuss matters of national importance with senators Ike and mark because they are d perceive bad eggs, so the ones that defected from PDP to APC are now saints?

Now they know. Old malus.

When was this pro
