The Peoples Democratic Party
has adopted Senator Bukola Saraki for the position of Senate President.
In the same vein, the PDP has also adopted Mr. Yakubu Dogara
for the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The party, in a statement signed by its National Publicity
Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in Abuja on
Tuesday morning at 1:50am, therefore urged its senators and reps to act
accordingly by voting for these two men.
These two were not those adopted by the ruling All
Progressives Congress for the positions.
While the APC nominated Senator Ahmed Lawan for the office
of the Senate President, it also asked its members to support Femi Gbajabiamila
as Speaker.
Members of the National Assembly are due to elect these
officers and others today in Abuja.
The then opposition party had refused to vote Mrs. Mulikat
Akande for the Speaker in the last House of Representatives but joined angry
members of the PDP to rally support for Aminu Tambuwal, who eventually became
the Speaker.
