10th Assembly

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that it will oppose the opposition parties’ effort to seize control of the House of Representatives in the 10th National Assembly.

Earlier, news outlets claimed that the opposition’s newly elected members gathered on Tuesday to form a group dubbed Larger Majority’ to work together to influence the election of the Green Chamber’s future leaders.

The opposition members-elect also convened to fine-tune strategy for leveraging their numbers as bargaining power in negotiations with the All Progressives Congress’s speakership aspirants (APC).

Bala Ibrahim, APC Director of Media and Publicity, told Newsmen that the ruling party will not stand by and allow opposition parties to control the national legislature.

Ibrahim stated that the party leadership is doing all possible to facilitate a smooth transition between the 9th and 10th Assemblyes, but that certain people are spreading false information in order to inflame the situation.

He said, “We are not going to witness that. All hands are on deck to ensure there is a smooth transition between the 9th and 10th Assembly. As the leading party, nothing will be out of control.
