Ondo APC Chieftain Frowns At Imposition Of Akpabio For Senate Presidency
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Dr. Michael Ajilo, has expressed dissatisfaction over the decision of the national leadership of the party to single-handedly pick former governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, to be the senate president in the 10th National Assembly. INDEPENDENT reports.
Ajilo, in a statement made available to journalists on Thursday, noted that it was obvious that the incoming executive is hoping to have a rubber stamp legislature with the ongoing imbroglio regarding imposition of presiding officers in a process presented as a zoning arrangement.Information Guide Nigeria

According to him, “One is made to question where democracy is. Where is the fairness, justice, and equity that the president-elect was a beneficiary of, especially in the run-up to presidential primaries.JAMB Result
“It must also be noted that the legislature is an independent body that must be independent of the executive to be able to pass laws and policies to the benefit of the country without oppressive influence from other arms of government.
“The South-East participated in the general elections. A cabal appears to be pushing the claim that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the current Senate Chief Whip, contributed poorly to the success of APC at the election. The question is, is the president-elect not a victim of this in his own backyard, emanating from the wave of the popular presidential candidate of South Eastern extraction?
“People advocating Senator Goodswill Akpabio now forgot that Senator Orji Kalu is a founding member of the APC, and he has paid his dues as long as national politics is concerned. This cabal must be told to their faces that they are threatening our democracy and putting their own interests above national interests.”NYSC Portal
