I Can’t Appoint Or Impose Anyone On The Senate – Oshiomhole by Adeitanajoke(f): 2:43am On Mar 30, 2019
Adams Oshiomhole has said that contrary to claims in some quarters, he does not possess the power to chose who becomes the Senate President of the 9th National Assembly (NASS).

He said all that he has done with regards to the issue of who becomes president of the 9th NASS, is to engage members of the National Assembly and members of the executive, in a bid to bring the two together to discuss questions of how the party can manage its huge majority in the parliament.

Oshiomhole said he stressed that he has no power to appoint or impose anyone on the Senate.

“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.

You brain is polluted by party politics otherwise you would have known democracy is a game of majority.

Even in America (the epitome of democracy) till very recently, Republicans were holding the Presidency, Senate and the House of Reps. They lost the Leadership of House of Reps when the Democrats gained majority.

If you are a good follower of Nigerian politics, u would observe that Osho Baba caused most of d problems rocking APC ! I wait in anticipation for the SENATE PALAVA loading as APC would end up fighting themselves for the Office of the Senate President. Finally, one of d factions would resort to the help of the PDP senators to emerge as the SP. Don't call me a PDP faithful, this is ordinary common sense that every Tom, Dick n Harry is expected to know the APC for.

Sorry! This is Party democracy; the majority have the number and most times their way. Ekweremadu can still swim in the pool of the minority & make his contributions. No emotions here, this happens even in the biggest of democracies.

OshoBaba is only doing what a responsible Chairman should do; to engage party members elected into the Parliament and also to avert a repeat of what happened at the 8th Assembly where aggrieved members went against the Party's arrangement for allocation of power.

Once bitten Twice shy!
