9th NASS Leadership Is Triumph Of Party Discipline – APC

The All Progressives Congress, APC has described the emergence of its anointed candidates in all four positions of presiding officers of the National Assembly as a triumph of internal democracy and a result of its overwhelming strength in the National Assembly.

The party in a statement also flayed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP saying it was a defeat for the opposition’s politics of lawlessness and bad behaviour.

The statement issued by the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu while noting that it had validated its efforts to institutionalise party discipline and loyalty, said:

“It is triumph of internal democracy, anchored on consensus building, to which we lay claim, over anti-democratic methods that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had foisted on our democracy over 16 years.

“We are deeply humbled by the honour bestowed on our great Party. While members of our great Party are entitled to savour this victory, we call on all to avoid pettiness and to continue to stretch hands of fellowship to progressive forces in other political parties and groups to consolidate our democracy.

“On the strength of our overwhelming numerical strength in the just inaugurated 9th National Assembly and election of the Party’s adopted candidates as presiding officers in its two chambers, we must recommit to cooperation between the executive and legislative arms of government.

“This is a clear departure from the shenanigans of the last National Assembly leadership, let us therefore make a new start, and move forward to meet the great challenges we face and deliver on our Change Agenda and Next Level manifesto.

“The 9th National Assembly must now immediately address itself to delivering critical legislative intervention to enable the President Muhammadu Buhari administration succeed for the benefit of the Nigerian people and ensure the smooth running of government.”
