The National Chairman of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has said that the Senate
President, Dr Bukola Saraki, would “definitely” be impeached.
Speaking at a press
conference on Friday, in Abuja, Oshiomhole said Saraki would not only be
removed but the party would work hard to ensure that he is defeated in his
senatorial district in 2019.
Adams Oshiomhole said
Saraki’s political dynasty in Kwara State would be destroyed.
“He (Saraki) failed to
understand that the Nigeria national project is more complicated and is not
that easy. He will not only be impeached, we will work hard to have him
defeated as a senator in his own senatorial zone come 2019,” Oshiomhole said.
“The people of Kwara State
are fed up with Saraki and we are fed up with Bukola. Saraki will not be the
first to be impeached and I doubt if he is going to be the last but definitely
he will be impeached.
“According to the law and
according to the democratic norms, the only way Senator Saraki can avoid
impeachment is for him to do what is honourable, which again leads to the issue
of character,” the APC chairman, Oshiomhole said.
The ruling party has been
mounting pressure on Saraki to step down as the Senate President after he
defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but the nation’s number three
citizen has vowed to remain in office.
At a press conference on
Wednesday, Saraki said he would only relinquish his position if two-thirds of
the Senate removes him.
