Some senators of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, last night had an emergency meeting over the fate
of Senate President Bukola Saraki.
According to Daily Trust, the senators,
met at a location in Abuja to decide on how to go about the removal of the
Senate President.
Although much details were not
provided, the newspaper reports that the senators debated seriously on Saraki,
with others arguing that the party was not fair to some of them.
The National Assembly has been on
an annual recess for over two months since July 24, but they are due to
reconvene today.
Tuesday’s sitting will, however,
be postponed to Wednesday in honour of late Rep, Princess Funke Adedoyin, who
died about two weeks ago.
Following his defecting from the
ruling party to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, some APC senators have vowed
to impeach Saraki as the Senate President.
Senate Leader Ahmad Lawan had
during the APC National Convention on Saturday in Abuja promised the party’s
leadership that the APC Caucus in the Senate would “force through a lot of
things and pass the budget for INEC and the security agencies for the 2019
elections.”
