See Why President Buhari Hasn’t Intervened In The National Assembly Crisis

As the lawmakers in the House of Representatives
on Thursday engaged in a free-for-all fight over
the sharing of principal offices by the APC, it has
been revealed that president Buhari will not
intervene in the crisis just yet. This was made
known by the Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba
Shehu.
Speaking on Channels TV Sunrise program,he
insisted that Buhari would not intervene in the
leadership crisis until the APC state governors
asked him to do so.
He said,
“When the governors met with the President,
they told him that ‘we are the leaders in our
states and we have influence over all of
these senators. They come from our places
and from us and we can handle it.’ “The
President will step into the crisis at the point
when the governors say they can no longer
fix it.”
Yesterday, aggrieved APC members took to
physical comb at after the speaker ofthe house
failed to name the principal officers authorized in
the letter by the party .. They tore each other’s
clothes, threw punches, and shouted on top of
their voices. Many chanted “Dogara, Dogara”,
“Give us our leaders”, “Party is supreme’’, “PDP,
power”, “APC, change” and “APC, shame”
Some members, led by a lawmaker from Sokoto
State, Mr. Balarabe Salame, attempted to snatch
the mace, but the Sergeant-at-Arms and other
lawmakers quickly rescued the authority symbol
of the legislative House and deposited same in
the Speaker’s office.
