The All Progressives Congress is at the moment, confused on whether or not it should discipline the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, for disregarding its directive on the choice of principal officers of the National Assembly.

This would be the second time in a month that the pair would work against the ruling party’s directive.

Saraki and Dogara, had on June 9 defied the directive of the party by contesting the senate presidency and the speakership.

Saraki and his loyalists, among the APC senators, had boycotted a peace meeting the party had with its senators on June 9.

According to Punch Newspapers, the National Working Committee of the APC is indecisive on how to approach the situation.

While some members of the NWC are of the opinion that the party should be careful in handling the issue, others were said to have insisted that the Senate President and the Speaker should be punished.

It is believed that those who are calling for a subtle approach in meting out punishment to the pair are wary of the Peoples Democratic Party, swooping in to capitalise on the crisis.

On the flip side, those who are hellbent on proper disciplinary action insist that the party would be setting a bad precedent, if Saraki and his group were not punished.

A top member of the party, was quoted to have said: “As of now, we have not reached a consensus on what is going on in the National Assembly. Some believe that taking a harsh stand will send the affected lawmakers away, while others are saying that they should not go unpunished.”
