The All Progressives Congress (APC) says political actions of some members of houses of assembly in Bauchi and Edo State in the inauguration of the assemblies are undemocratic.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu said the party would never allow such developments again, NAN reports.
He spoke to journalists in Abuja on Sunday night, noting that “it is a shame that APC controlled state would be involved in such acts with impunity.
“I want to refocus the public through the media on what the issues are and there is one common issue for both Bauchi State and Edo — the improper inauguration of the houses of assembly.
“In Bauchi with 31 members of House of Assembly, no fewer than 11 members convened and purportedly inaugurated the House of Assembly; that is taking us back.
“In Edo, you have a situation where you have nine members, some of them in knickers, who convened and claimed to have inaugurated the House of Assembly’’.
He noted that APC ought to have dealt with issues in Bauchi and Edo State all together if not that Bauchi State is controlled by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
