Opinion: Ndume Versus Lawan: The Danger Ahead, By Azu Ishiekwene
If other contestants refuse to step down for the party’s preferred candidates – and they have a right to refuse – then the party should ask the pre-designated zones to present candidates.
It may appear that this is not our business: that the results of the last general elections show that some regions are overrated and those who have delivered the numbers should not only get a preferential share of the pie but also the legislature as a whole should be left alone to choose its leaders.
It’s difficult to hold the National Assembly to account when its leadership, which sets out and provides direction for legislative business, has been subverted by the opposition. We cannot and will not have another four years of the minority tail wagging the majority dog after voters made their preference clear at the polls.
