The Peoples Democratic Party said on Wednesday that it was not plotting to present David Mark as a candidate for the Presidency of the Eighth Senate.

Rather, it said the All Progressives Congress, which won majority seats in the Senate, would be allowed to present candidates for the office.

The party said this remains the norm that in every assembly, the party with the majority members presents leadership at the National Assembly.

Successor to the incumbent Senate President, David Mark, is expected to emerge in Abuja on Thursday when the National Assembly would be inaugurated.

National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Olisa Metuh, told journalists in Abuja on Wednesday that the party was not part of the alleged plot to usurp the normal norms at the National Assembly where the party with the majority of elected senators or members of the House of Representatives are denied from presenting leadership at the National Assembly, let alone the Senate.

He also said this issue was not part of the issues raised and discussed at the party’s retreat which was held for elected members of the party in Port Harcourt earlier this week.

According to Metuh, “That was not part of the PDP retreat for members of the National Assembly in Port Harcourt. PDP has no such plot to upstage the All Progressives Congress in presenting leadership at the National Assembly.

“The truth is that it was not discussed at all at the Port Harcourt retreat. The truth is that we have no candidate for Senate President or Deputy Senate President.

“The truth is that we are ready to present a credible opposition to the All Progressives Congress as the ruling party. We wish President Muhammadu Buhari success and hope he would be able to turn around the economy.”

Metuh added that the Port Harcourt retreat only commended Senators David Mark and Ike Ekweremadu for stabilising democracy and National Assembly during their tenure as President and Deputy President of the Senate respectively.

ABUJA- FORMER Minister of State for Education, Kenneth Gbagi yesterday accused some
immediate past ministers of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria massively enriched themselves while in
office, asking President Muhammadu Buhari to
ensure that they go to prison after probing them.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday called for synergy among its members, especially those in the two chambers of the National Assembly for a purposeful and credible opposition.
Uche Secondus, PDP’s acting National Chairman, made the call at retreat for elected PDP National Assembly members in Port Harcourt on the topic: “The Role of Opposition in Facilitating Development and Good Governance”.
Secondus urged party members to accept their position as opposition with a view to re-engineering the party to victory in the next election.
He tasked the party on discipline, which he said, was a very important attitude in driving development.
The PDP acting National chairman lauded the party for strengthening democracy in the country, saying that it acted in the national interest by conceding defeat.
Secondus promised more democratic based primaries in the party which would be merit-oriented for as a means of keeping the party alive.
Senate President, David Mark, urged members to take their destiny in their hands to ensure the party’s survival.
He said that opposition was the beauty of democracy and that PDP could not achieve success as opposition party without being vibrant and responsible.
The senate president noted that the ruling party would do everything possible to divide the PDP to enable them have their way but “we must remain united and focused”.
“There has to be proper synergy between members of the Senate and the House of Representatives to ensure PDP stays alive,” Mark said.
Also speaking, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Senate President, called on PDP National Assembly members to rise up to the challenge of opposition with responsibility.
Ekweremadu urged the party members in the national Assembly to hold APC accountable to all their campaign promises.
“We should not only hold them accountable in terms of their list of promises but also in accordance with the timeline they gave in the course of the campaigns.
“They should be able to bring exchange rates down to one naira to one dollar and bring back the Chibok girls,” he said.
Mr Emeka Ihedioha, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, called on PDP members to be courageous in their role as opposition.
Ihedioha, who commended APC for a classical opposition role during PDP’s reign, said that it was time to pay them in their own coin.
He said that every successful opposition always partnered with the media and being able to be vigilant at all times.
“Do not relent, we need to work on our media friends, it is time to call attention of people when things begin to go wrong,” Ihedioha said.

The boy, however, upon seeing the large crowd, feigned madness. He was later arrested by youths who mercilessly beat him before finally handing him over to the police.
