The National Working Committee
(NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has queried the Senate President,
Bukola Saraki, asking him to respond within 48 hours why disciplinary action
ought not to be taken against him, for breaching article 21 of the party’s
constitution.
This was contained in a
resolution signed by the National Secretary of the party, Mai Maila Buni.
Buni said Saraki had allegedly
flouted the laws of the party with his activities.
Some of the allegations raised
against him include that “you encouraged and facilitated by providing an
enabling environment for the defection of some senators who are members of the
APC to the other opposition Parties.
“That you have deliberately
refused to screen nominees for appointments submitted by Mr President who are
members of the party from being confirmed by the senate. This has caused untold
embarrassment and ridicule to the party and the government.
“That you have organized a public
rally in your state where members of the party urged you to decamp to PDP. That
as a follow up to the above the Kwara state governor who is known to be your
staunch supporter Had made public pronouncements suggesting that he will decamp
from the party as an indicator to your formal defection.
“That you used the office of the
senate President to cause avoidable delays in the budgetary process and passage
of the appropriation act into law thereby frustrating the implementation of the
party’s manifesto and programs and frustrating the APC led Federal Government
in the actualization of the campaign promises of the party.
“Converting the guest house of
the senate President to meeting points and presiding over anti APC activities
in the guest house and encouraging defection of senators from the party and
presiding over such meetings and compiling a list of the said defectors
including some without out their consent.
“Procuring joint letter of
decampees from the APC and reading same on the floor of the senate including
some who did not accede to defecting thereby causing embarrassment to the
party. Inspite of the efforts to address grievances to reconcile aggrieved
members, you worked against the process and encouraged the formation of an
association which sought to impersonate and pass off the name of the party,” it
stated.
Saraki announced his defection
from the APC on Tuesday.
