The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the Senate President Bukola Saraki has refused to reconvene National Assembly because he is afraid of impeachment.

The APC Acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena, in a phone interview with Daily Trust yesterday, said the Senator knew that the party had the two-third majority needed to impeach him.

Nabena said Saraki was just buying time thinking that the party would negotiate with him, advising the Senate President to reconvene National Assembly in the interest of the country.

When asked whether the APC was still insisting that National Assembly should reconvene to consider INEC Budget, virements from Mr President and other issues raised by the National Chairman, he said, “Yes, because it is for the good of the country and the masses if the National Assembly reconvenes. The budget is something that will affect everybody. So, it’s not for personal interest. Budget is meant for the country. We all know that the INEC issue is still outstanding, security and other issues of economic importance.

“So, we are still insisting that Senate President should reconvene the National Assembly. His only fear - he is afraid because he knows that the numbers are there. That is why he is afraid. But he is just buying time. All what he is doing is just to buy time to negotiate with him this time around.”

Asked if the APC was insisting that he (Saraki) should resign, Nabena said, “He needs to resign from the position since he has moved to the PDP. And this is not negotiable. Nobody is negotiating with him. And if he doesn’t, he will be impeached democratically.”

When reminded that there had been argument over what actually constituted the two-third majority, the APC acting spokesman said, “That is what I’m telling you. He knows that the two-third is there. He knows. That is why he is buying time. First of all, he must understand that the country comes first before any individual interest. If that is what is going to make the country move forward, the people also know that. So, the country cannot be held to standstill because of one man. So, if he is not afraid, let him come.”

it is only in Nigeria that the Majority party of the National assembly is relegated as minority in the house, yet some gullible people will not see anything bad with it, all they see is that Saraki is the defender of democracy, Saraki that always places his selfish interest above group interest..

Someone moved a motion for adjournment and it was seconded. Both the motion mover and the seconder (akpabio) are both in APC, nobody objected to the adjournment, both the PDP and APC.
Why are they harrassing saraki

to you does it seem like everything is alright in this government? From human rights violation to disobedience of court orders and propaganda.

It is good that it is happening to APC because they also exhibited same action prior to 2015 and if you think what they are doing is illegal that means the government is illegal by coming to power through illegal means.

Let APC conclude their primaries, I bet about 10 additional Senators will defect to PDP. Both Saraki and APC knows this, hence while APC is eager to have the house reconvened, their senators are not keen on that.

States where APC will lose more senators:
i. Oyo
ii. Ogun
iii. Imo
iv. Rivers
v. Kaduna
vi. Zamfara
vii. Bornu
viii. Nasarawa
ix. Niger

there is no law that states that the senate president must come from the majority party.
if the PDP wanted to elect one of their own as president on that day that APC went for jamboree at the int.conference center,they would have done so.
