PRESIDENT of Nigeria Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, Saturday said he was not
losing sleep over the plot to impeach him by some Senators and the
leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Saraki who
spoke to newsmen in Asaba after a closed door meeting with Governor
Ifeanyi Okowa debunked claims that the Senate was yet to reconvene due
to fear of his impeachment, adding that those who had gone to the roof
top to announce the plot to impeach him, should have dissipated such
energy on democratic ideals that would better the lots of Nigerians.
He
said; “I am not losing any sleep about impeachment, we have a country
that a lot of Nigerians believe there must be rule of law, those who are
talking about impeachment are engaging in cheap blackmail and I am not
concerned about that”.
The Senate President said the mass
defection to the PDP was because the APC has denied Nigerians of true
democracy in the past three years, adding that nothing would derail the
present Senate from upholding the tenets of good governance.
He
insisted that no amount of political intimidation and security
harassment would prevent the business of law-making that would impact
positively on the country, saying that “our ideas and visions on what we
expect in a democratic setting were not met in APC, hence we left.
