9th Leadership: Shina Peller Speaks On Methods To Appoint Principal Officers
A House of Representatives member from Oyo state, Abiola Shina Peller has declared that he’s satisfied with whatever voting pattern that would be adopted on the Inauguration Day.
Shina-Peller, who will be representing the people of iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola federal constituency, said, “For me, I don’t mind. I am cool with any decision that the National Assembly management decides to take on the day of inauguration in terms of voting in the right person.”
This is following the crisis and power tussle in the APC camp to elect presiding officers of the two chambers of the National Assembly during inauguration in June.
According to Punch, while the ruling All Progressives Congress is pushing for open ballot system, some lawmakers-elect have vowed that the election must be by open-secret ballot as contained in the rule books currently being used by the Senate and House of Representatives.
It was further gathered that while some lawmakers were ready to align with the position of the APC on the matter, some others are opposed to it.
MouthpieceNG learns the ruling party is insisting on the open ballot system of voting to identify lawmakers-elect who would vote against the party’s choices for the positions of principal officers during inauguration.
