Shehu Sani, senator representing
Kaduna south, has denied being among those allegedly plotting to impeach Senate
President Bukola Saraki.
Describing the reports as the
handiwork of his opponents, Sani said he enjoys a good relationship with the
senate president and will continue to support him.
“My attention has been drawn to a
report by an online newspaper without a defined address that I, Senator Shehu
Sani and other senators plotted to impeach the senate president, Dr Bukola
Saraki on Tuesday 24th 2018,” he said.
“I’m not aware of such plot
whether it happened or not. And If there was anything like that, it stands
condemned. I can never be part of any plot to impeach the senate president
because there was never reason to do so.
“I enjoyed a good working
relationship with Dr Saraki since 2015 till date and he has always supported
and identify with me in my moments of travails and trials and I reciprocated
the same to him.
“He has managed the senate with
experience, responsibility and maturity and always respects my views even when
it differs with his. Fifthly, Senate President and Deputy Senate President Ike
Ekwerenmadu have managed the Senate satisfactorily and championed and sustained
its independence.”
The senator said the accusations
leveled against him will not work, referring to it as “cheap blackmail”.
“My decision to remain in the APC
or leave the party is my own choice to make in tandem with my conviction,
conscience and the imperatives of the constituents and constituency I
represent,” he said.
“Fabrications, concoction and
outright lies and blackmail aimed at me, to force me to toe a line against my
conscience will not work. Using such cheap blackmail and character
assassination against me will not work.
“I will continue to support the
leadership of Dr Saraki and Dr Ike Ekweremadu till the end of the life of the
eight senate. Once again, my choice of party is my business and not that of any
person.”
