Oshiomhole said Saraki belongs to the minority group in the Senate since his defection to PDP
- He added that it is unacceptable for the Senate president to belong to the minority group
The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, said Bukola Saraki has to vacate the seat of the Senate president since his defection to the Peoples Democratic Party means he is now in the minority group.
Oshiomhole said this when he appeared on Arise Television during a programme, on Tuesday, November 13.
He said: “I think it’s about morality. We just had an election in the US. The democrats won more members in the congress. Without much ado, the leadership of the House changed. This question didn’t have to arise. Saraki belongs to a minority party; as it stands, today, in the senate.
The truth about democracy is that it’s a game of numbers. It’s unacceptable that minority provides leadership over majority.”
While speaking on the crisis in the party, Oshiomhole said the APC is a large party and such rancour is expected within the party.
“We have finished our primaries and we have submitted names to INEC and there are internal procedures for reconciliation and we are working on them.
“We are a large governing party and it will only be strange if we are having graveyard peace. People are allowed to grumble and grumbling is allowed. We should move on and find solutions,” he said.
