THIS IS SERIOUS!! PDP Lawmakers Now SLEEPS At National Assembly Building Over Alleged Plan By APC Senators To IMPEACH Saraki
Some members of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP)
caucus of the House of
Representatives say they will
keep vigil at the National
Assembly all night over
alleged plot by some APC
senators to invade the senate
chamber and remove Senate
President Bukola Saraki.
It was gathered that the lawmakers who
were led by the acting Minority Leader of
the House, Chukwudi Onyema, said they
were going to keep vigil to make sure the
alleged plans were thwarted.
While speaking to journalists, Onyema
said that the PDP caucus had
information that three senators,
Abdullahi Adamu, Ovie Omo-Agege and
Ali Ndume, were planning to forcefully
invade the senate chamber while the
Senate is on recess.
Both the Senate and the House of
Representatives are on recess till
September.
Onyema said: “The aim of their invasion
of the senate while senators are on
recess, to come and sit illegally when
everybody is out on recess, is to impeach
the senate president.
“We also have it on good authority that
they are planning to come back this
night and tomorrow morning aided by
security forces; our own security forces
whose job is to protect the lives of
Nigerians.
“They are the ones leading these
dissident senators to come and truncate
our democracy. We might think they
want to take over the senate; that’s not
what they want to do.
“They want to truncate this democracy of
ours. But we the PDP caucus have
decided to stay here to keep vigil and
wait to see what’s going to happen
tonight and tomorrow night,” the deputy
minority leader stated.
He charged Nigerians to stay awake with
the caucus because “this is not a rape
on the National Assembly, it’s a rape on
democracy which concerns all of us.”
“If we allow this to happen, then we can
as well go back to when we use to have
a military junta. We also have some
information that some policemen have
arrived. We want to find out what they
are doing here”.
