The Peoples Democratic Party have asked the APC to put it's ass together and end the crisis rocking it's leadership selection as the majority party in both the Senate and the House of Rep, warning that it will get involved in accordance with Rule 27{1} of the standing orders, if they resort to holding election.
The fair thing would be for the Peoples Democratic Party to not interfere with the Majority Leader election of the All Progressives Congress. That would be the fair thing, but politics is far from fair and it appears PDP is out to take more blood fromAbadly wounded APC.
The former ruling party’s caucus at the House of Representatives, has threatened to participate in the election of the Majority Leader of the House and other principal officers of the All Progressives Congress. PDP insists that if APC fails to settle its crisis borne out of the SHARING of principal offices in the House,- it would get involved.
The immediate past Deputy Majority Leader, Leo Ogor, is the bearer of this threat. He revealed to Punch that all party caucuses would participate in the election, stressing that the leader had responsibilities beyond “just beingA member of the majority party”. Ogor said: “If they say they are going for election, all of us will participate. We are talking about the election of the House leader, not the election of the leader of a political party. “Since the leader is not just for the APC but for the whole House, there is no way they can conduct the election on the floor of the House without our participation.”
Ogor also used the constitution of the House to defend his stance.
Rule 27(1) of the StandingORDERS of the House says that the leader should be nominated from among the members of the majority party but all party caucuses would have to vote for such a leader to emerge in the case of an election, he argued.
