Kwara, Lagos APC at war over call for sanctions against Saraki, Dogara


The All Progressives Congress,
APC in Kwara cautioned Lagos APC chapter call for sanction against the
emergence of the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, and
the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara.

In a statement issued on
Wednesday by the Publicity
Secretary of APC in Kwara State,
Sulyman Buhari, the party
dismissed the statement by
Lagos APC as unfortunate.
“It is quite unfortunate that
Lagos APC recommended
disciplinary actions against the
Senate President and the
Honourable Speaker without
citing a provision of the APC
constitution that has been
contravened by these
distinguished Nigerians and
committed party leaders.
“We advise the spokesman of
Lagos APC to allow his
comments to be guided by the
Law and constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria
rather than by emotions and
sentiments.
“And for the information of
Nigerians, the spokesman of
Lagos APC is on his own as we
can authoritatively confirm that
his sentiments and vituperation
are not reflective of the position
of Lagos APC on the
inauguration of 8th National
Assembly.
“The good news is that in
Nigeria today, the Senate
President and the Speaker of
House of Representatives are
members of our great party, the
All Progressives Congress.
“It is expected that all leaders
and members of our party support the duo
of Senate President Saraki and Speaker
Dogara to foster cordial relationship
between the President Muhammadu Buhari-
led administration and National Assembly,
rather than an inordinate attempt to cause
crises and instability.
“Meanwhile, it is a misrepresentation of
fact and truth that the ascension of Senator
Saraki as the Senate President was a PDP
affair. The few Nigerians who have been
portraying the emergence of the new Senate
President as a PDP affair should be
cautious. The actual fact, which nobody or
propaganda can hide, is that Senator Saraki
emerged Senate President with the support
of Senators across political parties.”, the
statement read.
