Senator Rafiu Adebayo Ibrahim
representing Kwara South has disclosed that lawmakers belonging to the
Parliamentary Support Group, PSG, allegedly received the sum of $1 million each
to impeach the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
The lawmaker made this disclosure
in an interview with newsmen at the National Assembly.
Senator Ibrahim, who is a member
of the Pro-Saraki group, also protested the invasion of the National Assembly
by officers of the Department of State Services, DSS, and the Police Force.
He said, “I can authoritatively
tell you that those senators behind the desecration of the National Assembly
collected $1m each to impeach the Senate President and his Deputy. You can
quote me anywhere on this.”
In a related development, another
prominent member of the Pro-Saraki group, Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi
West district, accused the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress
(APC), Adams Oshiomhole, of collecting signatures of lawmakers with the aim of
effecting a leadership change in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
Melaye, while bringing his
colleagues up to speed on the plot by members of the PSG, said the APC National
Chairman was in a meeting with pro-Buhari senators to collect signatures for
Saraki and Ekweremadu’s impeachment.
“The Chairman of APC is currently
meeting with some APC Senators. As I speak, we understand he is collecting
signature for the Senate President’s impeachment.
“We also understand that after
collecting the signatures they will be proceeding to the National Assembly to
carry out their plan. We are waiting for them,” the lawmaker asserted.
