'APC won’t compromise Senate leadership’ - Odigie-Oyegun

The All Progressives Congress has said it has no intention whatsoever to compromise its leadership position in the Senate as a result of the on-going trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said this in response to a question by journalists in Abuja, on Wednesday.
In response to a question as to whether the party was prepared to lose the Senate Presidency if it comes to that as a result of the ongoing trial.He explained that the APC as a party which came to power professing the change mantra, there was no way it would interfere with an on-going judicial matter.
Odigie-Oyegun said, “Let me put it simply. There were basically two points that I was making. Number one, as a party of change even as a party, we cannot interfere in a judicial process that is ongoing.
“That was clear. And when they asked about the senate, I said under no circumstance can we compromise on the leadership of the Senate.
“We are the majority party and the issue doesn’t even really arise but unfortunately the way it was put, the misinterpretation has been a little bit too intense and that is clear.
“It just doesn’t arise at all. The issue, the argument and the rest doesn’t arise. If somebody wants to theorise and postulate, that’s a different matter. It doesn’t arise.”

I have written series of articles to criticise Buhari failing administration but have never for once chastise him for undermining the rule of law (even though he has disobe

The NYSC scheme was an initiative of the Yakubu Gowon military regime in 1973 to reconstruct, reconcile and rebuild the country after the Nigerian Civil war. While many Nigerians have called on successive governments to scrap the scheme as they say it has outlived its usefulness, many others have asked that the scheme should be retained.
