Ovie Omo-Agege, lawmaker
representing Delta central senatorial district, says the All Progressives
Congress (APC) senators are waiting for the slightest opportunity to impeach
Senate President Bukola Saraki.
Following Saraki’s defection from
the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), leaders of the ruling party have
been mounting pressure on him to step down.
But Saraki has vowed to retain his position, saying only a vote
against him by two-thirds of the upper legislative chamber will make him
relinquish his position.
However, Omo-Agege has asked
Saraki to quit upon the resumption of plenary on Tuesday.
He said the APC lawmakers have
been directed by the national leadership of the party to oust Saraki.
“Our demand has not changed, in
fact, that demand has been accentuated by the directive of the APC national
leadership,” Omo-Agege told NAN.
“We have all been enjoined as APC
senators at a slightest opportunity to remove Saraki and once we are provided
with that slightest opportunity, we will remove him and he knows that.
“I mean once the environment is
conducive; that is, once we have the number, we take him out, as simple as
that,”
“Absolutely, he knows he cannot
be; we are not shying away from that. Our position has always been consistent.
“This is not new neither is it
news. We have made that clear, very clearly in the past. Therefore, the
position of Ovie Omo-Agege has the position of APC as a party.”
Saraki adjourned plenary shortly
after there was a siege to his residence and that of Ike Ekweremadu, his
deputy, in July.
