Plot to remove Senate President, Bukola Saraki gains momentum, rebels in the house

The plot to remove the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and destabilize the leadership of the Upper Chamber is gaining momentum.
The alarm to cause disaffection at the Senate was raised by Senator Obinna Ogba representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District of Ebonyi State under Order 43.
He said against the backdrop of earlier rumour, it was now reported to be a verifiable fact as whooping sums of money was alleged to have started exchanging hands among some senators, civil society organisations and market women.

Ogba specifically accused Senator Abdullahi Adamu representing Nasarawa West of being the mastermind and arrowhead of the ongoing plot.
He said, ‘I have evidence to prove what I’m saying as there were telephone discussions between Adamu and other people. It is a serious issue’.
‘We must stand up to look into this urgent matter and not to dismiss it with a wave of hand.”
The lawmaker in support of his report laid a documentary evidence before the hallowed chamber for a speedy consideration and action.

Recall that Senator Isa Misau had earlier raised the alarm over a similar plot to remove the Senate President. He had said that during the Senate’s New year holiday, cabals in the presidency became suspicious that the Senate President may defect to PDP, so they made up their minds to initiate impeachment moves against him.
