IN SPITE of the dust trailing the adoption of Senator Ahmad Lawan for senate president and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila for the speakership by the All Progressives Congress, APC, leadership, Second Republic lawmaker and a Board of Trustees, BoT, member of the party, Senator Abba Ali has okayed the party’s decision., Senator Ali said the party has the final say on the persons to occupy the Senate Presidency and Speakership seats.
Noting that the ongoing division is normal and expected, Senator Ali said the issue is a family affair that would be resolved amicably. “This is an internal affair of the party so it is only natural that you find that the choice of the party is not the choice of others; and in a democratic setting, everybody has a say. But the final say is the party’s because they didn’t stand the election on their own or in their name but under the umbrella of the party. So I am not surprised, it is normal, and I am sure it will be sorted out.”
“It is totally different. Now, we have majority in the both houses. Before, the majority is one or two and again, when we came in 2015, it was amalgamation of parties which formed the APC and they still had that feelings of belonging to one of the three parties. But now that everything has stabilised, we are no more talking about other parties, it is one party. So the party controlling should nominate whoever they want to lead them in the houses.
