Why is Ekweremadu's emergence as Deputy Senate President an abomination?- Makarfi asks APC

Caretaker Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Ahmed Makarfi, has lampooned the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government over the trial of Deputy Senate president‎, Ike Ekweremadu, for alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Rules.


Makarfi in a statement by his spokesperson, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, described the prosecution as inexcusable in a democracy, pointing that the ruling party had no constitutional or moral grounds to b‎e displeased with Ekweremadu’s emergence as deputy president of the Senate.

The PDP Chairman cautioned the federal government against interfering with the affairs of the National Assembly, which he said is a separate arm ‎of government created by the constitution.

The statement read: “The APC as a party, and through its chieftains, including President Muhammadu Buhari before his election, had variously and robustly ‎defended the constitutionality and imperativeness of bi-partisan ‎legislative leadership during the defection of the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, to their fold while in ‎opposition without relinquishing his position.
