The Peoples’ Sovereignty Is Greater Than Party Supremacy – Sen. Dino Melaye. by Shegman22(m): 3:43pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Sen Dino Melaye of Kogi West Senatorial Zone has urged the
All Progressives Congress to respect the view of President
Muahammdu Buhari on the emergence of the Senate
President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
While reacting to the controversial emergence of Saraki and
the Speaker, House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara,
shortly after they were elected, Buhari had said he did not
have any preferred candidates for the principal posts but
added that he would have preferred that the choices of the
party emerged.
The choices of the APC for Senate presidency and
speakership were Senator Ahmed Lawan and Mr. Femi
Gbajabiamila, respectively.
Specifically, Melaye was referring to a statement by Buhari’s
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in
which the President said that he was willing to work with
whoever the lawmakers elected.
In a series of tweets on his official Twitter handle, Melaye
faulted the APC leaders for attacking Saraki.
He said, “President Buhari said the election of Saraki
followed constitutional provisions. At that point, the party
and its leaders ought to have slowed down. Mr. President
said he would work with whoever was elected. At that point,
the party leaders ought to have taken direction from Buhari,
who is the National Leader of the APC.”
He also said “The President is the National Leader of APC.
The moment he said he had no preference, the party should
have respected Buhari. Nigerians must realise that the
people’s sovereignty is far greater than the party’s
supremacy. Just like the Bible is dearer to me than the
constitution.”
Melaye said he had no regrets supporting Saraki, promising
to protect and defend the people of his senatorial district
and the Nigerian constitution.
He added, “The gullibility of so many on the social media is
embarrassing. I have no regret supporting Saraki. I worked
and voted for competence. I will be the last person to
support anti-party activities or support the satanic party that
I assiduously helped to uproot.” |
