The All Progressives Congress, APC may be majority in the 8th National Assembly but the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP intends to lead the assembly.
PUNCH has a report on how the PDP intends to grab leadership positions in the house.
There are indications that the Peoples Democratic Party is scheming to assume control of the National Assembly following the failure of the All Progressives Congress leaders to agree on zoning of offices.
Saturday PUNCH gathered on Friday that the PDP caucuses in the two chambers of the National Assembly were plotting to benefit from the squabbles in the APC by teaming up with aggrieved elements in the latter.
The aim of such an alliance, investigations showed, would be the emergence of a speaker and a senate president different from candidates approved by the APC.
It was learnt that the PDP hoped that by ensuring its choices emerged as the speaker and the senate president, it would “snatch” the control of the eighth National Assembly from the APC.
A member of the PDP caucus in the House, who pleaded anonymity, said, “Although we are not disputing the fact that the APC should produce leaders of the National Assembly, we will ensure that those who will emerge are people we prefer, not the choices of the APC leaders.
