The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Yiltwada Nentawe has revealed that the political dispute between Senator Rochas Okorocha and Hope Uzodinma was being managed behind the scenes.

He said the party will allow the Court to settle the matter but the party will ensure a peaceful settlement.

Yilwatda spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday night that the APC has taken over the matter.

Responding to questions on who is likely to be the choice of APC’s Senate president in the 12th National Assembly, Yiltwada said, Senators would decide their President, but only the majority leader that the party will recommend.

Asked about the dispute, the APC chairman said, “We will allow the court to settle it, but behind the scenes, we are doing management of the case.

“The report I have of all the political parties, you don’t have one tenth of it. I have my intelligence around everybody. I filter data from all.

“There is no political party that does not have a research unit, and the research unit goes as low as scavenging for data.”

Yiltwada insisted that the onus of voting Senate President rests squarely with Senators after they were sworn into office and not the political party.

He added, “You know that the Senate will determine it. Let’s wait for the election first. I don’t have anybody in mind. The Senate will determine who they want to make Senate President. We, as a party, will only just bring the Majority Leader.”
