One of the senators who defected from the All Progressives Congress, APC to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, last Tuesday and Senator representing Kwara South in the National Assembly, Rafiu
Ibrahim, has revealed that there were plans to impeach the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki and the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu
last Tuesday.
.
According to him, while security agents stopped the presiding
officers from coming out of their homes, there were plots to impeach
them at the National Assembly.
Senator Ibrahim also told Punch that the call for Saraki to step aside as Senate President if he finally joins the PDP was not possible.
Ibrahim said, “How is that possible? He remains the presiding
officer. They need two-thirds majority to remove a presiding officer, so
they should attempt that (to remove him) and let us see how they are
going to do it.
“And I know that the majority they are claiming is a phoney claim.
But you will see; the list will come out. Why they are crying out now is
because their actual plan failed.”
