The Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, on Thursday, caused a stir in House when he disclosed how he collected signatures of other senators to impeach the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, in the 7th Senate.
Ndume stated this while addressing an issue in the House to draw the Senate’s attention to an ‘offensive report’ published in The Nation newspaper of Thursday over allegations of 22 Northern senators working against the interest of President Buhari, in the red chamber.
The senators were among those who signed the vote of confidence passed on Senator Bukola Saraki’s leadership of the Senate.
However, in his digression, Ndume said he contested the deputy senate president position with Ekweremadu on June 9, 2015 with the intention to win but had to accept his fate when he was defeated him.
“As for the deputy senate president, I contested against the deputy senate president. I did not contest with him to lose that election,” Ndume said

“I contested with him in order to win that election but it is God that gives power to whoever he wants. What ever happened on the 9th of June, my friend Ekweremadu became the deputy senate president.”
“Let me say for the record and for those that were not in the 7th Senate, it is not something of pride, but I stand here to say, he is here, that I am the only person that attempted to impeach him (Ekweremadu). I collected signatures in order to impeach him because of certain things which I explained and we discussed.”
“Why I am taking us through all these is because the nation is watching us and this drama that is going on cannot continue because that is not why we are here and this leadership thing whether we like it or not, whether we change it or we maintain this one, only one person will be the senate president.”
