Following a publication in a newspaper, alleging that 22 northern
senators of the APC, who took part in the vote of confidence on the
Senate
President and other leaders of the Senate, were plotting to frustrate
the present administration, the Senate has directed its Committee on
Ethics and Privilege to
investigate the allegations.
The Guardian reports
The alleged report reads: “Twenty-two
northern senators elected on the All Progressives Congress (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
report added that 22 out of the senators were from the North and were
consequently accused of working against the party on which platform they
were elected into the National Assembly.
