Bukola Saraki Narrowly Escapes Impeachment
The current news report which indicates that the Nigeria Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has today survived yet another impeachment move being spearheaded by Northerner Senators
According to "My Nations News" the impeachment move came over Saraki's proscription of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, was illegal and unconstitutional.
Recall that there were fears ahead of the Senator's resumption, that the first day might be Stormy, because some Senators had perfected plans to ask for clarification as to why Saraki responded the way he did, on the proscription of IPOB by the Federal Government.
A Senator, who spoke in Confidence said Saraki used the closed door session and consolidated last week's outreach, which he undertook to Senators from all the geopolitical Zones ahead of Tuesday's resumption.
"Of course, some Senators from the South-East were reluctant to align themselves with the position of the South-East Governors for political expedience; and when Saraki said IPOB's proscription was unconstitutional, many believed he said it in Solidarity with the South-East Senators, who form part of his support base.
"But that is not totally correct, there is the issue of national interest because we too from the North have the interest of our Constituents at heart. Many of them thought the Senate is against President Bihari, and this is a wrong perception.
However, after the closed door meeting, the Three-Point resolutions was made thus: The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable, and we are fully committed to the territorial integrity of the Country.
"We will seek all possible avenues to make sure that peace reigns across the Country.
"Advise all groups that are pursuing one agitation or the other, to do so through constitutional means.
