Saraki To Resign As Senate President When ‘this’ Condition Is Met by Engrdanco3(m): 10:09am On Aug 09, 2018
Senate President Bukola Saraki says he is not desperate to stay in office. However, a condition has to be met: his removal must be by two-thirds majority of the upper chamber.

Saraki said this on Wednesday while addressing a ‘World press Conference’ on Tuesday’s siege to the National Assembly by the Department of State Services (DSS).

The Senate President defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in July, sparking calls for his resignation/impeachment by the ruling party.
He said: “Let me reiterate that neither myself, Deputy Senate President nor Speaker belongs to the class of politicians that are desperate to stay in power by all means and at all costs. The day, two-thirds of our members feel they do not have confidence in our leadership, we will gracefully bow out. I repeat, again and again, this is not about us, but about respecting the constitution and the rule of law…”

Analysts posit that a quorum of 73 out of 109 senators is required to effect the impeachment of any principal officer of the red chamber, excluding the leadership of party caucuses.

The lawmaker also called on the Federal Government to hold accountable agencies and heads of government establishments who go out of line or default on their duties.
e also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the amended electoral act sent to him by the National Assembly.

He denied insinuations that he directed sacked DSS boss, Lawal Daura to invade the Senate. He described the allegation as an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians.
