APC: Saraki’s Face Will Be Decided By Senators

The All Progressives Congress has said senators will determine whether or not Saraki will retain his position as Senate President.

The party said it remained the party of choice for all genuine democrats as such it would do nothing to undermine a system its members fought so hard to nurture to this level.

The National Vice Chairman of the APC (South South), Hilliard Eta, said this in response to allegations by the Peoples Democratic Party that it was planning to force a change of leadership in the Senate.

He said this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja, on Thursday.

Eta said, “We in the APC are progressives; the concept and principle of progressivism is that the ordinary man must be at the epicentre of all policies and actions of our government.

“As a party, we are not all senators; we have senators in the Senate. Saraki was elected as the President of the Senate by senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is the senators that will decide whether Saraki remains their president or not.

“But I can say this, there are no factions in the APC, we have one National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, nothing has happened to give any clue to factionalisation in our party and the constitution is very clear as to the grounds upon which defections can occur.

“For us as a party, we will defend the law and the constitution of this country. The PDP I am told would do everything in their power to defend Saraki, we will do everything legitimately to defend the laws of the land and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
