Exclusive! The real reason why Saraki won’t convey Senate Sitting now!

The real reason why Senate President, Bukola Saraki refused to reconvene the National Assembly has been revealed. Saraki is wary of recalling Senators after feelers got to him that the APC might have garnered the required 73 signatures of Senator to impeach him!

Presently, APC has 59 Senators and the party needs 14 more signatures to get the senate president out of office.

But it was reliably gathered that APC has secured the 14 signatures needed to oust the leadership of the Senate. Senator Godswill Akpabio who recently defected from the PDP to the APC was said to have been instrumental in securing the cooperation of many of the PDP Senators who bought into the idea. It was gathered that some PDP Senators are unhappy that the leadership of the PDP decided to crown Saraki as ‘ leader of PDP’ immediately he defected to PDP. They questioned the rationale behind such action arguing that Saraki was one of those that put the party in its present pitiable position only for him to return and be lionize. Interestingly, that was one of the reasons for the defection of Senator Akpabio too. The unhappy PDP Senators were said to have insisted that the PDP would not be standing if all of them had behaved like Saraki in 2014. Some of the senators were also unhappy that Saraki is holding the NASS to a ransom with his Senate Presidency ambition. They asked if the seat is his birthright or he was elected from Kwara to be Senate President. Some of them were even unhappy with the negative image the saga is giving the Senate. ” what moral are we teaching the young ones. We all know that it is an unwritten law that the majority party should automatically produce the Senate President. Now since he (Saraki) has decamped to the minority, he should let go of the seat. It is morally wrong to be using legal means to paint all of us in bad light. ”
Asked how the APC were able to get the 14 Senators, the source added ‘even Saraki would be surprised by those who signed the list.

He hinted that a senator of PDP extraction from rivers state has signed equally signed because :’ the man is on his way to the APC!’
He added that another two south South Senators close to Akpabio have also signed the list.
He revealed that four Senators from the southeast have also appended their signature to remove Saraki from office. The source was however quick to add that the South East Senators do not have want Senator Ike Ekweremadu to be included in the list of those to be removed. They want Ekweremadu to retain his seat. Indeed, the APC might have decided to allow Ekweremadu to retain his seat due to the refusal of most South East Senators to join in any plot to axe him.

He added that the APC has also gotten the signatures of three more PDP Senators from the north west and north central to get this job done

Senator Saraki is aware of this deal and he has resolved not to reconvene the senate until sometimes in October.
