“His Excellency, Peter Obi was there when this motion on party supremacy was moved by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and seconded by Senator Victor Umeh, and it was put to vote and passed.
“Every elected officer of this party must implement the programmes and policies not according to his or her whims and caprices, but programmes and policies of this party that will be analyzed, discussed, debated, and agreed.
“So, whether in the National Assembly or everywhere, we want to build an institution in this country. We may not get it one year or two years, but that’s our vision. So we say government policies and programmes must align with the parties, and a team is fine tuning certain things, which we will present to the public.
“Now, the second element is that appointments and nominations will be done with consensus of the party and stakeholders at all levels,” Dickson said.
