*APC Senators kick against Saraki’s removal

*Rebuff Oshiomhole, insist Senate President did nothing to warrant removal

*APC Govs uncomfortable with party chairman

*As x-Edo gov makes silent retreat


By Mike Odiakose


Indications have emerged that the plot by the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, led by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to remove the Senate President, Bukola Saraki has hit a brick wall as majority of the party’s senators have distanced themselves from the impeachment move.

Comrade Oshiomhole has been leading the campaign for the sack of Senator Saraki following his defection to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The move against Saraki got to a head about two weeks ago when hooded operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS laid a siege on the National Assembly which prompted the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo to sack the Director General of the DSS, Lawal Daura.

Nigerian Pilot gathered from very dependable sources close to APC senators that majority of the party’s senators are no longer on same page with Comrade Oshiomhole over the plot to remove Saraki.

According to our sources, in spite of monetary inducements and promises of automatic tickets, only about eight APC Senators out of over 50 are in support of the removal of the Senate President.

Some of the anti-Saraki senators include Abdullahi Adamu, Ali Ndume, George Akume and Ovie Omo-Agege.

It was gathered that over the years most of the senators, especially former governors, developed close relationship with Saraki beyond the chambers of the National Assembly. This relationship and close rapport cut across partisan party lines.

Senator Saraki’s management of the Senate since he took over in June 2015 is also working in his favour as he was said to have “carried along over 90 percent of the senators” irrespective of party affiliation.

Even Senator Shehu Sani who declined to defect with Saraki despite his strained relationship with Governor Nasir El-Rufai is said to be against the removal of Saraki saying “he has not done anything to warrant his removal.”

Some APC governors are also said to be working behind the scene to ensure senators from their states queue behind Saraki.

The APC governors are said to be uncomfortable with the “combative, aggressive dictatorial” leadership style of Comrade Oshiomhole.

The governors are of the view that Comrade Oshiomhole has compounded the internal crisis in APC and may lead the party to a woeful outing next year if he is not curtailed.

It was also gathered that APC national chairman is getting strong signals from APC senators that “he is on his own” in his bid to remove Saraki.

The former governor of Edo State is said to be beating silent retreat as failure stares him in the face in his bid to unseat Saraki and has been less vocal about the issue in almost two weeks.

However, Nigerian Pilot also gathered that despite the fact that the Senate President has over 90 percent of the senators behind him, he is not resting on his oars as he has continued to reach out to his colleagues in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

So, Oshiomhole is hoping on eight senators to impeach Saraki? Oshiomhole be like pesin wey dey play for expressway.


But this Saraki sabi politics well, see as he dey dribble Buhari, Tinubu, and APC like Maradona.

I thought I was the only one seeing this idiotic Oshomole as annoying. So his own people see him as such too?

How else do they want it spelt to them that Saraki is clearly lightyears ahead of them all politically?

Chai. Today I confirm that some of these most avid supporters of PDP are totally naive when it comes to the "Art of War."

At the risk of giving y'all some wisdom when your naivety works to our own advantage, let me say this.

One of the most reliable strategies in war is the art of BAITING. You bait your enemy, draw them in, and smite them ruthlessly!


Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

Now, given this news which you guys are likely to celebrate, and hopefully Saraki, it is our hope that his ego and confidence would be bloated beyond himself and he'd take a majestic walk into the chamber sooner than later, reconvening the Senate.... and there, my dear, is exactly where his "enemies" want him to be! wink

Make una wise o! Politics ain't for the naive!

It is common knowledge that APC senators are more loyal to saraki than the midget oshiomole .

My question to zombies who are shouting that saraki should reconvene and get impeached is whether na their father go impeach am ?

Concerning what you write up there; if you that have never contested for any political office knws all these hw much more saraki who have face political war not once and he will not knw all that you have written above or you are trying to tell me saraki will just enter this water with his two legs without testing it with one. I dont hold brief for saraki but i can tell you that what you knw is just a fragment of what saraki knws interms of nigeria's politics.
You only knw what they want you to. Politics is more of physical than online comments.
