22 APC Northern senators ‘working against Buhari’
Category: Nigerian National News
The senators allegedly teamed up with 46
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators in the Red Chamber to pass a
confidence vote in the leadership of the Senate under Dr. Bukola Saraki
and Ike Ekweremadu, a PDP senator.
An APC senator, Kabiru Marafa (Zamfara
Central), who raised a point of order, was ruled out of order by Saraki,
who said the senator was crying more than the bereaved. House of
Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara bowed to the wish of the party by
naming those recommended by the party as principal officers when the
Green Chamber reconvened on Tuesday.

TWENTY-TWO Northern senators elected on
the All Progressives Party (APC) platform have been identified as
“teaming up with the opposition to work against President Muhammadu
Buhari and the ruling party”.
The senators allegedly teamed up with 46
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators in the Red Chamber to pass a
confidence vote in the leadership of the Senate under Dr. Bukola Saraki
and Ike Ekweremadu, a PDP senator.
Thirty-five APC senators were among the
81 who purportedly endorsed the vote of confidence in the principal
officers of the Senate.
The Nation learnt yesterday
that 22 of them are from the North, according to the list attached to
the motion moved on the floor of the Senate by Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
The 22 senators are: Anyanwu, who
promoted the Motion; Abdul A.M. Nyako;Isah Hamma Misau; Kabiru Gaya;
Adamu Aliero; Abdullahi Adamu; David Umaru; Ahmed Rufa’I Sani; Tijjani
Yahaya Kaura; Ahmadu Abubakar and Malam A. Wakili.
Others are: Abubakar Kyari; Sabo
Mohammed; Dino Melaye; Abdulrahman Abubakar; Binta Masi Garba; Mohammed
Goje; Muhammad U. Shitu; Salihu H. Egye and Aliyu S. Abdullahi.
The senators have been accused of working against the party on which platform they were got elected into the National Assembly.
The leadership of the Senate has been working against the position of the ruling party since inception.
It disregarded the APC’s advice that
those who were shut out on May 29 be accommodated as principal officers
for peace to reign.
As against legislative practice that
only ranking members should be appointed as principal officers, two new
senators – Godswill Akpabio and Abiodun Olujimi were named by Senate
President as Minority Leader and Deputy Chief Whip on Tuesday.
