The ruling All Progressives Congress has reiterated its position that federal lawmakers elected on the party’s platform do not need the support of their colleagues from the Peoples Democratic Party to

elect the National Assembly leaders.

But Issa-Onilu said there was nothing wrong or contradictory in the position the party took on the leadership of the National Assembly. “What we are saying is that we have the majority and we don’t need the PDP lawmakers to elect our national officers. He added, “There is nothing that is called unity in the National Assembly. Opposition must defend those who voted for them because they don’t believe in what the ruling party promised.

“We did not campaign to Nigerians that each time we want to fulfill our promise, we will go and work with the PDP. The PDP’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Mr Diran Odeyemi, in an interview with our correspondent on Sunday, said the party was studying the situation and would shock the ruling party at the appropriate time.

He explained that the party would adopt a strategy to fill the positions meant for minority party in the Senate and House of Representatives in a rancour-free manner.
