The two members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are allegedly standing behind the revolt against President Muhammadu Buhari and his party in the choice of the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The two men are ex-governors of a South-South and South-East states. It was gathered that the governors are said to have mobilised a big war for financing the political revolt against the aspirants endorsed by the president and his party for the position of Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The politicians are reported to have shaded the plan in a desperate attempt to enable that the APC, which is under the control of the majority in both chambers of the National Assembly, does not provide the two key principal.
They are said to have mobilised their members in the two chambers of the NASS and directed them not to work with the two men endorsed by the APC but to work with those who have defied the leadership of the APC and Buhari in the choice of the two principal officers.
The attention of Buhari is said to have been drawn to the activity of the two ex- governors before he left Nigeria for the G7 summit in Germany. Seemingly not being able to offer a response to the development, Nigeria’s leader is said to have transferred the matter to the National Leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, and asked him to take steps to ease the tension being made over the election of the two
principal officers.
Menwhile, though Tinubu has waded into the crisis with a view to ensuring that the APC produces the two leaders in the NASS, key loyalists of the president are said to be peeved that many senators and lawmakers under the platform of the party had openly revolted against the party.
A source revealed that the affected governors would be forced to face some disciplinary actions to be decided at the highest level of the party.
The source clarified: “We are sure that some of them would be made to sight their report cards with the new EFCC to be put in place by the president, which will not tolerate graft in any form. The feeling seems to be that the name of a former military officer being suggested as the chairman of the anti-corruption agency is already sending shock waves to some of the political actors in the country and they may not like to be caught on the wrong side of history.”
It should be noted that senator Bukola Saraki was elected as Senate President on June 9, today. The election held was majority of his party members were meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the International Conference Center in Abuja, a meeting Saraki shunned.

So this is a PDP way of stalling Buhari's anti-corruption war. It's all about fear of the jail and therefore making sure that this country does not have a break with the past.
