Senate Leadership Crisis Worsens by modhream: 6:54am On Jul 26, 2015
*Waku fingers top APC leader in EFCC invitation of Saraki’s wife

By Emma Ujah and Joseph Erunke, Abuja

The battle for the leadership of the Senate appears far from being over as the group loyal to Senator Ahmed Lawan are said to be unrelenting in the effort to impeach Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu.


Lawan was a strong contender for the Senate presidency and was, in fact, anointed by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the party which produced Saraki but with Ekweremadu from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Lawan group’s move, it was learnt, at the weekend, was to instigate the arrest of Saraki and Ekweremadu on spurious allegations or harass the Senate President to the point of yielding to the removal of his deputy at the plenary of the upper chamber.

Sources said that President Muhammadu Buhari was being insinuated into the alleged plot with a view to getting government’s support to use state apparatus, including the EFCC, the DSS and the police, against the Senate chief helmsman.

A source linked the invitation extended to Mrs. Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President, by the EFCC, last week, as part of the alleged plot.
Meanwhile, an APC chieftain, Senator Joseph Waku,yesterday, fingered a top member of the party of being behind the invitation of Mrs Saraki by the EFCC.

Waku, a frontline leader of Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, said the APC leader was the mastermind of what he called “a baseless petition” against Saraki’s wife. The politician,in a statement in Abuja,insisted that the APC leader, a former governor, was exploring his personal relationship with the EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde, to embarrass, and torment fellow party members as well as overheat the polity.

He said he was highly disturbed that EFCC was being dragged into the political arena to settle political scores. “ This cannot continue if we must convince Nigerians and the international community that we deserve their support.”

What is it that all men wants POWER what is it that men with power wants MORE power and power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely

APC have acquired power and still wants more power which might lead to there down fall.

I only have hope on my sai buhari, the others are just men with power and blindly searching for more.

@OP, your English no be here o. You have very vital news only to be mangled by your less-than-impressive expressions.

Back to the thread. I like the drama playing out at the SINate; let them fight themselves for the good of the masses.

This EFCC was not utilised during GEJ and this is the time. However, I can bet to nything that changing Saraku/Ekweremadu leadership is not possible!

The impeachment of a Northern Senate-P, who is the majority in d Senate? the North.

This fight is a personal interest and not a National interest.

Tinubu pls allow Nigeria to grow!!!

The executive should not war with the legislative because it will be messy

Buhari and tinubu should just move on and focus on how to fulfill their campaign promises

The egocetric battle has been on for months without getting the results of the winner.

If they like; they should turn our political arena to smackdown, raw, TNA or blood and sand. I don't care.

We are still waiting for the phony promises...

Next time; I'll vote for bouncers to win election. Make the fight for sweet.

Oh lord let me not be as confuse as Apc.
I have said this before lemme say it again.

Apc is not a political party, its an amalgamation of political parties, so they can never agree,

I see CPC pulling out .

I am disturbed at the rate at which asiwaju bola tinubu is been mentioned for everything that goes wrong... What I dont understand is why it is called witch hunting when perceived corruption cases are been investigated yet we complained of been impoverish as a country. Who ever is been investigated is innocent until proven guilty. So what's the fuss? Abeg

May Allah Bombs detonate and consume all APC members. We had a humane, humble, educated and a visionary President, and these idiots with the gang up of their illiterate Amajiri voted a very silly old f00l to Aso Rock.

Allah bombs that will bomb you all, is doing press up.
