The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odigie-Oyegun, has written to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, on the party’s position regarding the principal officers of the Senate and the House.

Oyegun wrote two separate letters on Tuesday, June 23, to Saraki and Dogara, conveying the wishes of the party’s leaders.

In the letter written to Dogara, the party insisted that Femi Gbajabiamila (South-West) should emerge as the House Leader; Ado Doguwa (North-West) as deputy leader; Mohammed Monguno (North-East) as chief whip; and Pally Iriiase as deputy chief whip.

To Saraki, the APC presented Senator Ahmed Lawan (North-East) as Majority Leader; Prof. Sola Adeyeye (South-West) as chief whip; George Akume (North-Central) as deputy Majority Leader and Abu Ibrahim (North-West) as deputy chief whip.

APC Lawmakers in the National Assembly have for the past couple of weeks, been unable to agree on the choice of persons to occupy these key positions.

Going by precedence, the majority party has the authority to select candidates for these positions.
