A Civil Society Organisation, Northern Alliance for Democracy, has called on the ruling All Progressives Congress to wash its hand off the selection of principal officers at the National Assembly.
The statement partly read, “We note that the quickest way to compromise the independence and integrity of the legislature, and thereby subvert democracy, is this propensity by the ruling parties over the years to select leaders for the National Assembly, rather than allow the members elect their leaders in accordance with the provisions of the constitution.
“We call on Nigerians to be on alert and not allow undemocratic elements to sow the seed of crisis so early in the 10th National Assembly, so the new government is not distracted from delivering on its promises to the people.”All rights reserved.
