Senate President, Ahmad Lawan on Friday said there is no way the opposition will decide the 10th Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Lawan spoke on the sidelines of the Sallah homage by residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa Abuja on the backdrop of the Eid el-Fitr festivities.
The incumbent Senate President argued that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is not in trouble but that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, and other party leaders will decide the fate of the National Assembly’s leadership.
“I don’t think opposition parties are planning to usurp because it is presumptuous that the APC will not be a united party,” Channels Television quotes Lawan as saying.
“APC is a united party and the opposition party will simply work with the APC majority for us to have stability, because there is no way an opposition will decide who should be the senate president, who should be the speaker.
“It is our party and other leaders that will decide which zone or whoever, and the rest of us in the party will key in and of course the opposition would have no option but to support.”
