The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has adopted Senator Bukola Saraki for the position of Senate President in the National Assembly leadership election.
Similarly, the PDP has also adopted Hon. Yakubu Dogara for the position of the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The party released a statement in the wee hours of Tuesday morning through its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, urging its senators and members-elect in the House of Representatives to support its candidates.
It said,” The party therefore urges its senators and members-elect in the National Assembly to act accordingly.”
Although both Saraki and Dogara belong to the All Progressives Congress, they were snubbed by their party for the positions, as Senator Ahmed Lawan was nominated for the office of the Senate President, while Femi Gbajabiamila was nominated as Speaker.
Members of both chambers of the National Assembly are due to elect the Senate President and Speaker, later today, Tuesday, June 9.
