According to reports from The Sun, the PDP is preparing
Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu as a replacement for Senate President
Bukola Saraki if the latter is removed from his position.
This follows division between the APC over the Senate President position.
“We hold meetings everyday and we strategise on the way forward. But many of us were shocked when we read yesterday (Saturday) that the APC was willing to concede the Senate presidency seat to us (PDP). We did not expect it to end like this," a PDP Senator reportedly said.
“We have always
stood by Saraki and we will stand by him till the end. But we also need to
start putting the interest of our party (PDP) first. We have started talking to
ourselves and we have started mounting pressure on Ekweremadu to gear up and be
prepared to succeed Saraki. He has been the Deputy Senate President for three
times now. PDP will take over and Ekweremadu may just be the man.”This follows division between the APC over the Senate President position.
