Impeachment: APC dares Saraki to reconvene Senate
The All Progressives Congress has dared the Senate President , Bukola Saraki, to reconvene the Senate if indeed he was not perturbed about moves to impeach him .The APC spoke through its acting National Publicity Secretary , Mr Yekini Nabena , said the party’ s position was its response to Saraki ’ s declaration that he was not losing sleep over threats to unseat him following his decision to dump the APC to join the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
Nabena made the party ’ s position known to Punch via the telephone . in Abuja on Sunday .
Saraki had told reporters in Asaba the Delta State capital on Saturday that he was not bothered about the APC plot against him .
He told journalists , “ You can look at me . I am not losing any sleep about it ( impeachment threat ) . We believe democracy must go by the rule of law .
“ There are processes , constitutional processes over what we do. So , I am not concerned about that .
“ There are lots of noise being made about that but be sure that once we resume , the processes are followed , we will see that the noise will fizzle out . So I am not concerned about it . ”
But the APC speaking through Nabena said , “ Like we ’ ve said it before, he will be removed democratically . Let him reconvene the Senate first since he feels we in the APC don’ t have the numbers required to impeach him .
“ As far as we are concerned, he will leave that seat for a loyal party member to occupy . It is a question of morality , he has left our party which has the majority of Senators and as a party, we agree with our senators that a member of the minority party cannot rule over the majority . ”
Saraki ’ s spokesman , Yusuph Olaniyonu , had in a telephone interview with our correspondent said due process would be followed to reconvene the Senate .
He said , “ The Senate is on recess as you know , when it is time to reconvene , due process will be followed . ”
