Senator Rafiu Adebayo Ibrahim has alleged that lawmakers belonging to the Parliamentary Support Group, PSG, received the sum of $1 million each to impeach the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.
The lawmaker said this in an interview with newsmen at the National Assembly.
Senator Ibrahim, who is a member of the Pro-Saraki group, also condemned the invasion of the National Assembly by officers of the Department of State Services, DSS, and the Nigeria Police Force.
The senator representing Kwara South said, “I can authoritatively tell you that those senators behind the desecration of the National Assembly collected $1m each to impeach the Senate President and his Deputy. You can quote me anywhere on this.”
Meanwhile, another prominent member of the Pro-Saraki group, Senator Dino Melaye has accused the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, of collecting signatures of lawmakers with the aim of effecting a leadership change in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
Melaye, representing Kogi West in the senate, updated pro-Saraki senators that the APC National Chairman was in a meeting with pro-Buhari senators to collect signatures for Saraki and Ekweremadu’s impeachment.
He said, “The Chairman of APC is currently meeting with some APC Senators. As I speak, we understand he is collecting signature for the Senate President’s impeachment.
“We also understand that after collecting the signatures they will be proceeding to the National Assembly to carry out their plan. We are waiting for them.”
