Expdonaloaded News; Powerful forces behind National Assembly crisis –Akande

Powerful forces that do not want President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption stance to succeed are behind the leadership crisis rocking the 8th National Assembly.
Former interim National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bisi Akande, who gave the indication yesterday said most northern elite, Nigerian oil barons and other business cartels were the brains behind the unending crisis at the National Assembly.
In a statement made available to Expdonaloaded blog, he regretted that before the party knew it, polluted interests, who saw the inordinate contest for principal positions as a loophole for stifling APC governments’ desire to fight corruption, had hijacked the process of choosing leaders of the National Assembly.
He added: “While other position seekers are waiting in the wings until Buhari’s ministers are announced, a large section of the South-West see the rebellion as a conspiracy of the North against the Yoruba.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com..
“What began as political patronages to be shared into APC membership-spreads among ethnic zones, religious faiths and political rankings and experiences have now become so complicated that the sharing has to be done by and among Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership together with cohorts of former new-PDP affiliations in the APC, by and among gangs of past anti-Buhari’s Presidency, and certain APC legislators and party members who dance round the crisis arena to pick some crumbs”.
He said now that the whole conspiracy had blown open, it was doubtful if the present institutions of party leadership could muster the required capacity to arrest the drift.
“It is my opinion that President Buhari, and the APC governors should now see APC as a platform that may not be strong enough again to carry them to political victory in 2019 and they should quickly begin a joint damage control effort to reconstruct the party in its claim to bring about the promised change before the party’s shortcomings begin to aggravate the challenges of governance in their hands,” he said.
