Some members of the House of Representatives have stated that some of
their colleagues on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
were against the move by their National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to
effect an impeachment of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
They
made this disclosure while urging Buhari to order the arrest of
Oshiomhole over what they termed as his persistent attacks on the
National Assembly.
The Reps, under the aegis of Parliamentary
Democrats Group, PDG, said Oshiomhole was ridiculing Nigeria before the
global community by launching relentless attacks on Senate President
Saraki, and the entire federal legislative arm of government.
The group made the appeal in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Hon. Timothy Golu, over the weekend.
PDG insisted that the former Edo State governor was destabilizing the National Assembly with threats.
The
statement read, “Oshiomhole has refused to sleep because he wants
Senator Bukola Saraki removed as duly elected Senate President.
“He
is distracting our nation’s democracy and ridiculing us before the
global democratic community. His style is too primitive for democracy.
“Let
him come through the door with 2/3 of the Senators to legally achieve
his selfish objective. What his ignorance would not allow him to know is
that even some APC Senators are not part of the charade. Access to
democracy is not brigandage but respect to the rule of law and due
process.
“Oshiomhole’s anti-democratic utterances is making us a
laughing stock. We advise him not to kill himself on Saraki as there is
nothing he can do to subvert the law of democracy just to achieve an
anti-democratic goal.
“We call on President Buhari to immediately
call him to order or direct the IGP Ibrahim Idris to arrest him so that
peace can flow.
“He is destabilizing the National Assembly with threats and the use of security agencies to haunt our leaders.
