Aminu tambuwal governor of Sokoto state, says the the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will resist any illegal move to impeach Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Following Saraki’s defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP, some lawmakers and APC chieftains have asked him to step down.

On Wednesday, Adams Oshiomhole, APC national chairman, said it is “a matter of honour” for Saraki to “leave the crown (senate presidency) in the house that the crown belongs to.”

The PDP caucus in the house of representatives subsequently raised an alarm that some senators were plotting to impeach Saraki through the backdoor.

But speaking at the PDP national executive council (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Thursday, Tambuwal, who just recently left the APC as well, said any attempt to impeach Saraki unconstitutionally will harm Nigeria’s democracy.

“When I hear that some people are trying to break into the chambers of the senate to steal the mace and install a pseudo president of the senate, I wonder whether they actually know the rules of our democratic engagement. It’s not a Gestapo, we are in democracy,” he said.

“If the senators have confidence in Bukola Saraki, they should continue to sustain him as president of the senate. And so be it with Mr. Speaker, Dogara.

“So, nobody should be afraid. There is a process. And we must respect due process and rule of law. And Nigeria is not a banana republic. We will not take it from anybody. Let them hear it very clear. If you try it, we will match out our forces in this country and jam you.

“Because we are talking about democracy. We cannot afford to allow anybody, no matter how highly placed, to toy with the future of about 200 million people in this country.”

He also said if Saraki decided change his political party, there is nothing anybody can do about it.

“The constitution of this country is very clear that members of the senate and the house of representatives can choose from among themselves their own president of the senate or speaker without leaning to any political party,” Tambuwal said.

Tell that to 200 million fellow countrymen yearning for true federalism

In America the land of democracy, the majority picks the Senate leader, but in Nigeria, it's the other way around.

This shameless imbecille is just talking trash. Saraki will vacate that seat willingly, its just a matter of time.

that is America's law, Nigeria law did not say senate President should come from any major party, he can come from a minority party as long as voted by majority. It is only the majority leader that is by law compulsory to come from majority party

This people keep on recycling their selves and we rae here shouting sai baba, PDP, buhari is right the youth are mentally lazy cus we can think

Saraki and his followers are worlds ahead of the dullards.

He hit the iron while it is hot.

The instruction is clear: "Just Try It" simple!

The mentally smart gave us economic recession and horrendous blood letting, yet want us to recycle him.

He must go back to Daura!

And saraki will have the majority to sanction his seat? I said in America, the majority picks the senate president, you said the majority picks the senate president in Nigeria. Are you not agreeing with me?. Are you confused or you did not properly read and comprehend what I posted.?

Stop proving my point for me.

you need 2/3 majority to remove him by law, so brace up

He's saying the bloody truth. APC don't have the 2/3 to impeach him. So I'll advise them to take this loss peacefully and learn from it.

Why bother with all that? We'll take care of it at the state election level. He can not be a member of the Senate or become a senate leader without securing electoral and winning votes needed to send him back to Abuja. Markets get plenty entrance, not just one.

Correct man!

Let them continue to rejoice. Visionless individuals, that can't see beyond their nose!

Even if he wins election, he'll still av to drag minority leader with Apkabio

What's the problem with impeaching saraki when they are serious issues in the country waiting to be handled. The senate president has the freedom to decamp to any party. It's his constituitional right

Make kontinew jareh.....maybe if kill diasef finish young pipu go finally see chance enta dere

Why does this guy overate himself?

Ass licking Tambuwal, non of them will near that presidential seat

Why is the media making Saraki this important? Why is PDP making him look like their god, or is he?

If APC had asked Saraki to resign since he was elected under the party that's just being democratic. But ofcourse so many politicians are undemocratic and this is not new that Saraki doesn't want to step down.

Point is, there are bigger issues that matters to APC than Saraki. Infact, he doesn't have a political future in this coming election.... Why?

If picked by PDP as Presidential candidate, he cannot garner 1/4 of Buhari's total votes. That's a landslide winning

So what does 2019 holds for Saraki? It's unfortunate that as calculative as he presented himself, he's not seeing his massive failure in PDP except he wants to go back to Kwara and be elected Governor but at federal level, NOTHING!
