The National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus said on Sunday that the party is not bothered about moves by the ruling All Progressives Congress to side-line its members in the election of the Ninth National Assembly.
Rather, it said it was monitoring what is ongoing in the camp of the ruling party and would act when the time comes.
Secondus said, there was no way the votes of about 46 senators would not count in the election of the leadership of the Senate.
He said it was not his style to be making noise about the position the party would take when the time was not ripe to elect the presiding officers of the National Assembly.
He also added that they have what he called “unshaken confidence” in its lawmakers-elect.
“As a party, we are keenly watching what is ongoing. We are also hearing what some are saying about how they want to control the assembly and all that.
“We are not used to making noise. Rather, we discuss, we negotiate and we agree. When the time comes for us to take a position, we know when to strike. That is politics for you”. He said
Secondus said he preferred to be underrated by opponents before any election, adding that such was what happened to the PDP in the just concluded election.
