The Senate said it was shocked that despite having the majority of the members in the upper legislative chamber, the party could not confirm the alleged impeachment plot from senators who attended the meeting before it went out to comment on it.

Daily Post reports that Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, spokesman of the Senate, in a statement on Thursday, July 14, said: “We expected the party to at least explore all the options open to it to verify that piece of fabrication which is only the figment of the imagination of the writers and their sponsors.

“It should be clear to the APC leadership that if there is any truth to that story, it should have been credited to a particular senator who was at the executive session. “It is evident from our proceedings of yesterday (Wednesday) that the Senate itself was shocked that such a fabrication which constitutes a breach of the privileges of the senators was published and that was why we mandated our committee on ethics, privileges and public petitions to investigate the source and circumstances leading to the emergence of such a fabrication.” He advised the APC to always clarify the truth about any development in the National Assembly before taking a position noting that the party’s comment could heat up the polity.
