The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Senate president Bukola Saraki and other members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to mind their own business as far as the election of principal officers of the National Assembly is concerned.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Isa-Onilu, said this in an interview with newsmen on Monday.
The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, had on Monday advised political party leaders to allow elected federal lawmakers to choose their leaders on the day of inauguration in order to achieve stability of the 9th Assembly.

He said, “The point I am making is that we should not make too much noise on the process of electing presiding officers. What is important is for the members of the Senate to decide who is the best to lead them, so that they can have stability.”
However, speaking on behalf of the party, Isa-Onilu said, “The position of the party remains that those positions that belong to the majority party belong to us. Members of the minority party should mind their own business. They should find a way of occupying the positions that belong to them. It is not in their place to start telling us what to do and what not to do.”
