Ekweremadu’s Impeachment Will Just Worsen The National Assembly Crisis – Senator

Senator Shehu Sani, representing the Kaduna-Central senatorial district, has said that the impeachment of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, will only deepen the crisis currently rocking the National Assembly and obstruct the operations of the executive arm of government.

The senator during an interview on Monday with Sahara TV said though he did not vote for Ekweremadu, the plan to remove him was not the solution.

Sani who was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said: “We have to tell ourselves the truth. We are in a difficult situation. The fact that we have a deputy senate president from the PDP is a better alternative to the election of a senate president from the PDP because we could have had that on June 9.

If we remove Ekweremadu and replace him with an APC senator, the PDP in the senate would be a potent opposition that would continue to oppose anything that the executive arm presents.”

With less than a week to for the 8th Senate to resume, the Kaduna state senator advised his colleagues to focus on providing good governance to Nigerians.

The APC senator in reaction to the call for the reduction of the allowances of lawmakers, said he agrees with the people that the salaries should be reduced to reflect the present economic situation of the country.
