APC insists on sanctioning Saraki, Dogara; says due process will be followed
The
leadership of APC insists they will still sanction Senate President Bukola
Saraki and Speaker House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and others who went
against the party's wish in the just concluded National Assembly leadership
elections.
While the
party endorsed Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon Femi Gbajabiamila for positions of
Senate President and Speaker House of Representatives, APC said Senator Saraki
and Hon Dogara went against their wish and contested for the elections and won
with the support of PDP members.
Speaking
with journalists after a meeting in Abuja yesterday June 11, the National
Publicity secretary of the party, Lai Mohammed said the proposed sanctions on
the "erring members" will follow due process
"The
sanctions will follow due process. The party has made it clear that it is not
happy with the outcome of the election".
He said
the erring members will be sent a letter notifying them of their misconduct and
then given an opportunity to respond.
