Members of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, have reacted to claim by Senator Abu Ibrahim that Speaker Yakubu Dogara was part of a plot to impeach President Muhammad Buhari.

Speaking at press briefing on Thursday, the members told House of Representatives Correspondents that the allegation was a figment of Senator Ibrahim’s imagination.

The members converged under the aegis of Parliamentary Support Group, PSG, and was led by Hon. Abdulmumuni Jubril.

Pledging their support to the reelection bid of Buhari, the House members said that Speaker Dogara was with them in the movement.

“That’s just his personal opinion. That’s purely a Senate issue”, Hon. Jubril said in response to a question.

Ibrahim had in a chat with Journalists in Abuja yesterday, called for the sacking of the both the Speaker and the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki from the APC.

He said the presiding officers cannot be trusted any longer.

He had said ”Saraki and Dogara should resign today or the APC should send them away.

“They are no longer APC members. The only reason why Saraki and Dogara have not left the APC is that they know that if they leave they will lose their seats. “But we will force them to leave.

“Left to me, I will recommend to APC to expel them. They are no longer needed in the party. We will be cured of cancer if they leave. Me as Abu Ibrahim, I am asking Saraki and Dogara to leave APC today. I will meet Oshiomhole (Adams) to expel them. Let them leave APC, Saraki and Dogara should leave APC today.”
