Sani, talking on the present legislative issues as yet happening among APC officials over the administration of the ninth Assembly, said the occasions point to a certain something, a conceivable rehash of Saraki, Dogara adventure.
He said, “With what I have seen, there are a lot of statements coming from the APC making positions that they have learnt their mistakes and this time around, they are going to make some corrections and achieve what they want to achieve.
“But in the real sense, I don’t think lessons were learnt from what I can see on the ground. If lessons were learnt, there would be only one candidate from the APC. As long as we have three contenders from the APC, there is a likelihood of a repeat of what happened in 2015.”
APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, had as of late flaunted that the gathering won’t permit administrators of the resistance Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to be named as executives of councils in the following parliament.
