The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is yet to nominate candidates for minority leadership positions in the 10th national assembly. In a statement issued on Monday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP
Isah was selected aheadsaid: “Such rumours and reports do not represent the true position of affairs in our party and among our national assembly members-elect”.
“For clarity, the PDP is on the same page with our lawmakers-elect in focusing, for now, on maximizing our numerical strength with other opposition parties to determine the emergence of the presiding officers of the two chambers of the national assembly on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, and will not allow any distractions at this moment.
“The interest of the PDP is to ensure that whoever emerges as the speaker of the house of representatives must be a person with long-standing relevant managerial and legislative experience, leadership capacity and past legislative achievements as a member of the house of representatives.”The main opposition party said at the “right time” it will “speak with one voice on any issues with regard to other leadership positions in the federal legislature”.
“The PDP, therefore, urges Nigerians to disregard the said rumour and reports as our party and members-elect at the moment have our eyes on the ball on the election of the presiding officers of the two chambers of the national assembly in the general interest of the people of Nigeria,” the party added.
