PDP Adopts Saraki as Senate President, Dogara as House Speaker

Following the crisis over speakers’ Leadership and Senate Presidency, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has not only adopted Senator Bukola Saraki for the position of Senate President, but also Yakubu Dogara for the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The party has urged its senators and members-elect in the National Assembly to vote the two lawmakers.

The party’s move directly counters the position of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, whose adopted candidates are Femi Gbajabiamila for the position of Speaker, and Ahmed Lawan for the position of Senate President.

Meanwhile, just hours before the election at the National ASssembly, President Muhammadu Buhari will meet with all Senators and House of Representatives elect of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday at 9 am at the International Conference Centre Abuja.

Muhammadu Buhari returned to the country at about 1.am. from Germany where he attended the meeting of the G7 countries.
