Members “ll resist imposed leadership — Dogara vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
He, therefore, cautioned the two main political parties, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which won most seats in the last general elections to resist the temptation of choosing presiding and principal officers for the incoming 9th assembly.
Speaking at the Orientation ceremony for Batch B of 9th Assembly members-elect and senators-elect in Abuja, on Monday, Dogara advised any political party with such an agenda to ensure that it carried all members to establish a sense of belonging in the lawmakers who would, in turn, defend their leaders when the need arises.
“Whoever a party is sponsoring or supporting, they should make sure that they have the backing of the legislators so that they accept it; so that they own the process and they own the leadership. That way, they will always come out to defend it but in a situation where it is forced, literally, you know, driven down their throats, in most cases, even in the Senate, it doesn’t augur well.”
“Those that have been elected, we are going to be here for four years to serve the people and leadership is always something that emerges for people.
