Oyegun Says Losing Senate Presidency seat may be APC’s sacrifice for Change

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun says the party is “also planning” to checkmate plans by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to take over the Senate Presidency should Bukola Saraki be removed from the position in view of his current trial at the Code of
Conduct Tribunal, CCT.




He, however, pointed out that in an event his party forfeits the exalted position to the PDP, that may be the sacrifice it would have to pay for Change.
Speaking in an interview with Premium Times, Oyegun said: “We don’t take anything for granted. As they (PDP) are planning, we are also planning. The situation is under control. The whole situation is unfortunate but it is real.”

“Well, I don’t think we will lose that position. But sometimes, for change to take place, there is price you have to pay. So losing the position may be sacrifice for change.”
While ruling out the use of political solution to address Saraki’s prosecution over false assets declaration charges, he asked, “What political situation in a legal matter? Are the judges politicians?” adding that “ThePresident is certainly not the type who will interfere in a judicial matter. I
think we know him well. Everybody must know him. Things must be
done normally. 

And that is part of the change mantra that we must
play by the rule so that we don’t truncate processes.”

The APC boss continued: “People don’t seem to internalize what change is. If the President says “court, free that man”, the same president can say ‘court, imprison that man.’ Is that the Nigeria you want? No! Change means allowing the law to take the proper course. I can tell you the President won’t interfere. The President is straight definite, straight and firm in all facets.”

  4. Well, i dont support this political statement trying to confuse us. Yes pmb shouldnt interfere but if u lose that seat then its as a result of your miscalculation and power play.
    You guys are angry saraki won against your blessing and you would rather lose the seat than have someone you didnt annoint as senate president, if not qhy were these charges just coming up now since 2011?
    Well, those that know, know

  10. So what happened when the Court said GRANT DASUKI and KANU Bail and the President said DSS continue to Detain them. Is that the change the President wants for Nigeria. This old men should stop fooling us.

  11. No interference and Rule of Law my ass! The president has been stalling the prosecution of APC ministers and several other PDP ex-governors (who secretly supported his campaign).

    How many immediate past ex-governors are in court today despite all their financial atrocities? All you hear is Dasuki, Saraki, Orubebe, Metuh all of who have something in common...... POLITICAL VENDETTA
