The All Progressives Congress (APC) will ensure that leadership positions and key committee chairmanship of the 9th National Assembly are retained for its elected members, its chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has said.
Mr Oshiomhole made this known while meeting with new members-elect of the House of Representatives on Monday.
“We have the number to produce speaker and will produce the speaker who must be a member of the APC. We have the number and we will use the number to produce the Deputy Speaker who must be a member of the APC. We have the number and we will use the number to elect the House Leader who must be a member of the APC. We have the number and we will use the number to elect the Chief Whip and deputy who must be a member of the APC. The only position that we are not interested in is the minority leader.
His warning is informed by the party’s experience at the 8th assembly where key principal positions fell into the hands of individuals different from those endorsed by the party. “For us to be able to enjoy our numerical strength in the House of Reps, we must recognise that we are elected on a party platform.
