Two of the APC staunch member, Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara have been adopted by PDP as Senate president and speaker of the house of representatives. The move haS happened after PDP might have sensed trouble in the paradise of the All progressive congress after the embattled individuals walked out of the mock election that happened at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Bukola Saraki who was one of the members that see to the election of APC presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari is not happy with the party arrangement of using Senator Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila for the leadership of the National Assembly.
PDP has urged his senators and house of rep members-elect in the National Assembly to act accordingly, by voting Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara as their adopted candidate.
The information was contained in a letter signed by the PDP publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh.
What could these disagreements in less than a month mean to the organization of the APC? .
In a meeting called by the vice-president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo to offer a truce, senator Saraki boycotted the meeting and said he he Could Not Be Summoned To A Meeting By A ‘Commissioner’, referring to the vice-president who was a commissioner of Justice in Lagos state, when he (Saraki) was a governor in Kwara state. Saraki then became a senator while Professor Osinbajo is not the vice-president.
Following the snub and statement of Bukola Saraki, Professor Osinbajo did not attend the meeting, but the party met with is lawmakers and other Saraki earlier supporters joining the meeting.
The National Working Committee of APC has declared their support for any candidates chosen during Saturday’s mock primaries of the party.
