The All Progressives Congress (APC) is still keen on sanctioning the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and their band of supporters in the National Assembly who defied the directives of the party.
APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who spoke with reporters on Thursday after the Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee (NWC) met with a group of senators led by Ahmed Lawan, said the party would follow due process to carry out the punitive measures on the renegade lawmakers.
Asked whether the party is going ahead to sanction the Saraki/Dogara groups, he said: “They party has not changed its position on the matter. Sanctions must follow due process. You won’t tell someone his offence, not the issue of disciplinary panel, but there will be due process.”
Mohammed, who disclosed that the aggrieved lawmakers were at the secretariat of the party to confer with the party leadership, said there was nothing wrong if they exercise their rights to go to court over the outcome of the election of the Senate Presidency.
According to him: “There are our senators that will like to confer with the party leadership, they came to confer on the crisis in the National Assembly. I think the party made its expression clear on the matter that it is unhappy with the outcome of the election and I think we won’t say anything beyond that. What the senators will do is within the capability and rights of the senators.”
