APC Finally Agrees On NASS New Leaders

The All Progressives congress has finally accepted the Bukola Saraki as the Senate President after muck controversy generated by his recent election. The party’s national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on Friday said the party has now accepted Senator Bukola Saraki as the President of the Senate, saying having been elected by his colleagues, party was now ready to accept the reality and live with it. He said, " We don’t want to make a song and dance of it, everything is being put in proper perspective,”
However, Odigie-Oyegun while speaking with the State House correspondents shortly after joining members of the transition committee set up by President Muhammadu Buhari to present their report to the President at the Defence House, Abuja said the party has now rested its case against Saraki.

Odigie in response to whether the party has now accepted him, said , “Of course! He has been duly elected by his colleagues. We have a reality and we must live with it.”

The Chairman said the ongoing NASS election crisis was nothing compared the type the party had faced in the past, saying it will soon be left behind.

He also said that those agitating for court action were only looking at the situation from a legal point of view in their own right.

“People say they are going to court which is their right, but as a party, we are looking at everything and we are coming out strong,” he affirmed.
