Following the commencement of
the the trial of the Senate president, Senator Bukola Saraki, at the Code
of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on a 13-count charge bordering on false declaration
of assets, colleagues in the Senate have begun scheming for a possible
replacement. Some senators including those who had vowed to remain with him to
the end of his trial have asked the Senate president to consider the
resignation so as to save the Senate, as an institution. The option was thrown
to him at a special meeting held by a group of some loyal senators.
The senators who are likely to replace Saraki are both from the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC), which has the majority in the Upper Chamber, and
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has the second highest number of
senators. Here are 6 senators are gearing up to replace Saraki as Senate
president of Nigeria should he fail to survive his trial: READ
