Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman
of the Presidential Advisory Committee (PACAC) has said Senate President Bukola
Saraki can still keep his position as Senate President despite defecting to the
Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP).
Sagay said Saraki can only be
removed from the position by two-thirds of senators.
However, he added that the APC as
the majority party will not want to concede the position to the PDP which is in
the minority.
Sagay said in an interview with
Daily Independent Newspaper: “Yes, he can still keep his position as Senate
President despite his defection. He can only be removed as Senate President if
he is voted out by two-third of the majority.
“So, it doesn’t depend on what
party you are in, any party can be there. Although, the majority party is not
going to concede that post to a minority party as he (Saraki) conceded the
position of Deputy Senate President to PDP. It is only when you are an
arch-betrayer that you do that sort of thing”.
