PDP Alleges Plot By APC-led Government To Invade Senate

Unic Press UK: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Nigerian administration have hatched a plot to forcefully impeach the Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.

In a press statement ‘Buhari’s Vacation Plot to Inflict Impunity on NASS, Impeach Saraki, Ekweremadu’, Thursday, the PDP said:

“The party is aware of a plot already perfected in a meeting on Wednesday night . . . to forcefully reconvene the Senate with protection from security agencies, with a view to impeach Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.”

Reacting to the allegations on Thursday, a Senior Special Assistant to the President, Garba Shehu, said:

“Claims by the failing Peoples Democratic Party that President Muhammadu Buhari had taken a 10-day leave in order to leave the stage for illegal and unconstitutional actions by the administration are both ridiculous and a hollow narrative to garner cheap sympathy. We welcome objective criticism and take them seriously and humbly, but Nigerians must by now be tired of a party, the stock in trade of which is to cry wolf where there is none, ostensibly to spread negativity and distract the President’s attention from the cleansing operations he has been mandated to carry out.”
