Senator Clifford Ordia, PDP, representing Edo Central has on Thursday disclosed that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP would provide a successor if the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki was convicted in his ongoing case with the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, and removed by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
The Senator made the disclosure whole speaking with news agency, Vanguard.
He described the ongoing trial of the Senate President as a political prosecution adding that I’m a true Democratic setting, the case would be non-existent.
He further added that the PDP senators are patiently waiting with keen interest for the outcome of the Senate President’s case.
“PDP will produce the next Senate President if Senate President Bukola Saraki is removed. We are behind him; what is going on at CCT is political persecution and this is not allowed in any democracy. We will win, we have the number to produce the next Senate President.
“PDP Senators are waiting with keen interest, we are solidly behind him, In a democracy, the Executive does not choose who should be the Senate President, this is what the 8th Senate has done by getting its own presiding officer. By singling out Saraki to punish is unacceptable, we will stand by him.”
