We’ll Allow APC Elect Senate President – PDP by ijustdey(op): 7:03pm On Jun 03, 2015

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.

Would they have been able to do otherwise? Let them do their thing While you (PDP) play the role of opposition diligently and may I add(?) impeccably too.

Am sure you know that after 100days is when the asset can be made public but you decide to be blinded to the truth because of your sentiments.

Wait till then and .....

Deceitful folks. Just a way of feeding a goat with rich foliage to keep it calm and cooperative while it is being led to the abattoir.

Who be mumu?? cheesy

And what's with the use of the word "allow" as though they are doing anyone a favour. Can they "disallow" the majority from emerging president of the senate?? Very funny guys. Indeed Metuh really does need a crash course. He should humble himself and submit to good grooming. grin

A good one from PDP. Hope their e-rats on nairaland will learn how to be a reasonable and respectable opposition. Not spewing thrash and hurling insults at every thread that APC or Buhari in the title. Let's be civil and responsible
