Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko, has dismissed rumours making the round that the former governor of River State, Nyesom Wike, influenced the emergence of minority leaders of the 10th National Assembly.<\/p>\n

He described the rumour as baseless, stating that Wike cannot represent seven political parties that made up the minority.<\/p>\n

Speaking with journalists on Wednesday in his office, Nwoko, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stressed that the opposition Senators decided on their own before Tuesday\u2019s plenary.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe minority parties in the 10th assembly consist of seven political parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis becomes the requirement for those parties to nominate who will be the minority leader, and the question is this, is wike a member of seven political parties?\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to some dissenting voices among the PDP Senators, Nwoko said they were entitled to their opinion, adding that a number of signatures were required before the minority leaders were unveiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver two weeks now, some people were going about to collect signatures of Senators for this exercise and have met the requirements, so there is nothing anybody can do.<\/p>\n

\u201cPDP as a party knows when the 10th Assembly was inaugurated, and if they want to participate in the nomination of the leadership, how many times have they called for meeting?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo nobody should cry over spilled milk\u201d.<\/p>\n

Finally, he assured of robust legislative activities in the interest of Nigerians.<\/p>\n
