According to a report by TheCable, although the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has directed its members in the senate to oust Senate President Bukola Saraki, the senators are more interested in restoring peace to the upper legislative chamber than doing this.
Saraki has been under pressure to step down since he defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the APC.
Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the APC, had asked senators of the ruling party to remove the senate president.
“Saraki will not be the first to be impeached and I doubt if he is going to be the last but definitely he will be impeached according to law and according to the democratic norms. The only way Senator Saraki can avoid impeachment is for him to do what is honourable by stepping down,” Oshimohole had said when the national assembly was on recess.
On Monday, Ovie Omo-Agege, an APC senator from Delta state, had said the nation’s number three citizen would be removed at the slightest opportunity.
His utterance on the eve of resumption of the parliament after more than two months had given the impression that the lawmakers were in for a stormy session.
