Conduct Tribunal, following yesterday’s commence
ment of his trial over false assets declaration when
he held sway as governor of Kwara State, Senate
President, Bukola Saraki may throw in the towel by
resigning from his position any movement from
now......
In other not to be humiliated while on the throne,
some senators including those who had vowed to
remain with him to the end of his trial at the
anti-graft court, yesterday, asked the Senate
President to consider the resignation option so
as to save the Senate, as an institution.
Vanguard gathered that the option was thrown
to him at a special meeting held by a group of
some loyal senators, who followed him to his
Maitama residence, shortly after the end of
yesterday’s trial at the court. But as Saraki is
considering the option, senators of the ruling
All Progressives Congress, APC, appeared to
be at loggerhead with their counterparts in the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
over the Senate President’s successor.
While the APC senators are insisting on producing
Saraki’s successor, those of the PDP are favorably
disposed to anointing one of their own, a
development that has further polarized the Red
Chamber. A senator of the PDP fold, who spoke to
Vanguard late yesterday, but on condition that his
identity would not be mentioned, said Saraki was
given the option of resigning basically to save the
institution of the legislature. ‘”I can confirm to you
that at a special meeting held yesterday, we asked
the Senate President to consider the option of
resignation.
“We believe that doing so would preserve the
institution of the Senate, “he said, refusing to
speak further. Asked whether the Senate President
was considering the resignation option, the
lawmaker said ‘” this was just thrown at him this
evening. We believe that he would do the right thing.'”.
Meanwhile, names of senators Abdullahi Adamu, representing Nasarawa West
from the APC and
Suleiman Adokwe of the PDP were being touted as
possible replacements of the Senate President to
press time.
FOR REAL?WOW!!!
