The Green Party of Nigeria (GPN)
has cautioned the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams
Oshiomhole, against heating up the Nigeria polity with his persistent call for
the impeachment of the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki.
Recall that Saraki had last
month, dumped the ruling APC for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
National Chairman of GPN, Chief
Sam Eke, who spoke with newsmen in Umuahia, the Abia state capital, described
the alleged move by the former Edo governor to instigate Saraki’s impeachment
as undemocratic.
Eke warned that if Oshiomhole was
not called to order, his action may lead to anarchy.
He said, “The call for Saraki’s
removal is undemocratic. Because in the first instance, the APC really have to
face the reality. Where there the one that actually installed Saraki as Senate
President? The answer is capital No.
“The installation of a Senate
President by simple majority was done by his co-senators, and if they want to
remove him, it is up to them. They can remove him when they have two-thirds of
109, not 2/3 of those present. So, the due process must be followed.
“People should stop gunning for
anarchy. We still maintain that the democracy is the best form of government.
So, anyone that is trying to cause an anarchy for there to be an uproar in the
polity, is a wrong one, and we condemn it,” the former governorship candidate
in Abia said.
