The president of the Civil Rights Congress, Senator Shehu Sani, representing Kaduna central senatorial district at the National Assembly on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that there are no plans to impeach Senator Ike Ekweremadu as the deputy Senate president.
The activist said this during an interview, adding that over-heating the Senate will be a distraction to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said: “On impeachment of the deputy Senate president, there is nothing like that on the table. The collective resolve is to accept the situation and see how we can operate effectively.

“What we want to avoid is unnecessary over-heating of the senate. That will be distractive to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“For now, reconciliation process is on-going between the Unity Camp and the Like Minds towards seeing how the camp of Senator Lawal can be accommodated within the new arrangement.

“But the first step is accepting the fact that we got ourselves in a corner and how we live in that corner is what is of interest to all.

“So, the party has no intention of impeaching any senator of the Peoples’Democratic Party (PDP), holding any principal position. It is now how we can live with the situation in which we have found ourselves.

“There is always a first time in everything. We have never had this kind of situation but it is going to be a test of our wisdom and leadership and a test of our political skill in terms of being able to wriggle out of the turbulent situation we have found ourselves.

Sanni revealed that the APC did not envisage what happened at the Senate, adding that the divided house of the party gave room for the PDP to exploit the situation.

“The PDP had the power on the floor to pick the position of the deputy senate president because of the division within the APC. However, there was also an intervention by Saraki himself to ensure that we did not lose everything.
“To be candid, we are pained by the situation because our people voted for change and they wanted an APC leadership but there was a problem of lack of reconciliation within the APC, which opened a crack, for the PDP to take an advantage of the situation.

“But I tell you, if Saraki is absent and Ekweremadu is there, the APC still has the majority in the Senate and in every vote it is the majority that counts. Even if Ekweremadu takes over in acting capacity, he will not be able to tell us to do what we do not want to do as a party,” he said.

The National Assembly has been in chaos as it is alleged that the APC leaders reject the election of Bukola Saraki as the Senate president and Yakubu Dogara as speaker of the House.

APC cannot impeach him because they don't have the numbers to do it

Talking as if it is possible... Mtcheeeeew

No! Not "u won't " , say ' u can't '
Becos u Dnt have d capability to do so

What's done is done.....APC should focus on "changing" some else!!

I think this guy think too highly of himself. I bet you guys can't impeach the deputy Senate president.

God's hand is in ekwerenmadu becoming deputy Senate president.

He is there as a check. What is APC 's fear if not that his presence will thwart there looting agenda.

No body who knows APC so well and loves this country will go against ekwerenmadu.

This is the fact.

This is political imaturity in the part of APC. They better learn from the current NASS crisis to avoid another serious political blunder in the near future.

I didn't know Sanni was a dullard too! Hmmmm...

no, make you go impeach am now, rubbish.
