Some Peoples Democratic Party senators who are behind
the reported plot to impeach the Senate President, David
Mark, met for several hours in Abuja on Monday to fine-
tune their strategy.

A Senator from the South- South confirmed the
development in a telephone conversation with our
correspondent.
He said, “We held a meeting today (Monday) and it is one of
the series of meetings we have been holding on a regular
basis before and after the primary election.”

The lawmaker, who lost his bid to return to the Senate
during the December 8 PDP primary, said the meeting took
place in a five-star hotel close to the Apo Legislative
Quarters.
He added, “Our discussion centred on all issues bordering
on the last primary election of the PDP and the role played
by the governors.

“We are worried that the primary election in most cases
were manipulated by the governors and the leadership of
the party are helpless. We would have prevented the ugly
development if the Senate President had not assured us
before the election that everything was under his control.
“Right now, it becomes necessary for us to articulate and
formulate some critical issues.The fact that the primary
election in most instances were hugely flawed is not in
doubt.

“The fact that our interest was not protected even after we
were made to believe that there was automatic ticket for
most of us, is also not in doubt.
“It is also true that the Senate leadership failed to do the
needful in the Presidency and the PDP headquarters to
create a level playing field for us. We cannot pretend that
all is well.

“We cannot also pretend that we are happy the way and
manner most of us have been left in the cold . We will not
just leave things the way they are going. We needed to
meet to talk to ourselves ahead of our resumption on
Tuesday(today).”
When asked how and when the plot to remove Mark
would be actualised, he replied, “Nothing is ruled
out;everything is on the table but you need to wait and see
as things unfold.
“Let me also tell you that most of us have been too pro-
establishment; we are always avoiding issues that may rock
the boat and hence we have been taken for granted.”

The senator pledged to speak out officially after their plan
had been fully articulated.
But The PUNCH learnt that the aggrieved PDP senators
had yet to discuss their plot with the All Progressives
Congress lawmakers.

An APC senator from the North-West said, “I am aware of
the impeachment moves against President Jonathan but
the new one against the Senate leadership is new to me. I
have not been informed. I just arrived Abuja anyway. I
have been away for quite some time now.”

Another from the South-West also said, “I read the story in
the newspapers like every other person. I will find out and
get back to you by tomorrow (Tuesday ) when we resume
plenary.’’
However, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Information,
Media and Public Affairs, Enyinnaya Abaribe,
dismissed the alleged plot to remove Mark as “unfounded
and misleading.”

Abaribe, in his statement on Monday titled, “Senators Are
United Behind Mark,” described as false, media reports on
the plot to remove Mark.
He maintained that “such unfounded story only exists in the
imagination of its authors.”

The Senate spokesman said, “Senators operating as a body
of one united family, have never at any time found any
grounds to move against its leadership or even thwart the
long-standing camaraderie the upper chamber is known
for, irrespective of political party affiliation.”
Abaribe said that the Senate had a tested internal
mechanism, which had been deployed in tackling difficult
issues that arose within and outside the chamber.

He added, “Such mechanisms and channels are
inexhaustible and shall always be deployed by the
leadership of the Senate, as it always does when the need
arises.”

Abaribe claimed that since the senators had implicit
confidence in the leadership of Mark, there was “nothing
now to suggest or confer any iota of truth on the
insinuation of any form of schism that could warrant the
removal of the President of the Senate.”
