According to reports making the rounds, reveal that there were indications on Friday that members of the Senate Unity Forum had started wooing senators loyal to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki.
It was gathered that the move was part of fresh efforts to change the leadership of the Senate.
The group comprises senators, who were.....
opposed to the emergence of Saraki as senate president.
It was learnt that the SUF members, who
contacted the pro-Saraki senators, hinged their argument on the ongoing
trial of the Senate President at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
It was gathered that the group might
have succeeded in securing the support of 12 pro-Saraki senators, mainly
the Peoples Democratic Party members.
Investigations showed that the
anti-Saraki group sought the support of the senate president’s loyalists
because it had become obvious that the senate president could not be
removed without the support of some senators that were sympathetic to
him.
At the inauguration of the Senate on June 6, 57 out of 109 senators were reported to have voted for Saraki.
However, members of the SUF, who were
supporting Senator Ahmed Lawan were at a meeting with the party leaders
when the election was held.
Investigations revealed that some of the
senators who supported Lawan’s bid had allegedly met with some All
Progressives Congress leaders on the need to remove Saraki.
It was gathered that they started meeting with the leaders shortly after the Senate went on recess.
Drop a comment.....thanks!
