The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to stop insisting on a change in the leadership of the Nigerian Senate.

In a statement released on Sunday through its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP counseled Oshiomhole to get educated on the fact that the positions of the Senate President and Deputy Senate President do not belong to political parties but to Nigerians.

“Mr. Oshiomhole should also stop exposing his ignorance in thinking that the Senate leadership can be changed by his inconsequential orders as a factional chairman of a political party when the law is settled that such power is vested only on the two-third votes, representing 73 of the 109 senators.

“We know that Oshiomhole is under intense pressure from the Presidency to overheat the polity, distract the National Assembly members and make as much effort to cause a constitutional crisis in the country, having realized that they cannot win the 2019 general elections.

“However, the PDP strongly cautions these desperate power grabbers to note that their actions have unlimited capacity to destroy our democracy.

“Nigerians have noted that since his imposition as the factional Chairman of the APC, Mr. Oshiomhole has done nothing but spewing hate speeches and officially introducing a thug mentality into the polity, while causing confusion in every sector of our national life, including the Federal Executive Council, the security system, our legislature as well as in his dysfunctional APC, which as an undertaker, he is finally set to bury,” the statement read.

The PDP further knocked Oshiomhole over his alleged infractions on the nation’s constitution, including the invasion of Benue State House of Assembly and the Ekiti State Government House by APC-controlled federal security agencies as well as the escalated harassment of federal legislators and persons perceived to be averse to the re-election bid of the APC.
