A member of the House of Representatives, representing Lagos Mainland federal constituency, Hon. AbdulRaheem Olajide Jimoh, has cautioned those pointing accusing fingers at the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the crisis rocking the National Assembly.
In his reaction to the crisis, Jimoh stressed that Tinubu is not dictating to the party and whoever accuses him of not doing well amongst party members is an ingrate.
He averred that Asiwaju Tinubu was the brain behind the formation of the APC, adding: “This man worked with others for the party to stand and succeed in the last general elections, so nobody should ridicule him.
“Whoever says that Tinubu is dictating to the party is an ingrate. Such a person needs to fear God. Nobody has the right to accuse him of any wrong doing at all.”
On the leadership tussle in the National Assembly, Jimoh said: “The position of the party is supreme despite personal ambition from various caucauses.”
Jimoh said that the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara should apologise to the party and all its leaders for going against the position of the party.
He said: “What we are experiencing in the National Assembly is a kind of misunderstanding amongst the lawmakers on the leadership positions in the two chambers.
“We have over 200 APC members in the House of Representatives, if we don’t agree to follow the party’s position on the House leadership, we should go back to the floor of the House and vote for those who would occupy the other offices.
“I stand on the party’s position on the principal offices of the two chambers because we were all elected on the platform of the party. Therefore, we should all respect its decision at any point in time.”
