APC, PDP gear up for showdown over Saraki

The two major political parties are oiling their political machines for a showdown in both chambers of the National Assembly when the lawmakers resume from their recess on September 25.

At issue is whether the Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara should continue in office or not following the defection of over 50 federal lawmakers from the APC to the PDP.

The Senate president is one of the defectors.

Dogara is yet to defect but going by his pronouncements before the defections, the popular belief is that he is PDP bound.
