A member of the the PDP, Chief Ighoyota Amori, has accused some cabals in the ruling APC of witch-hunting Bukola Saraki, the Senate president
The Vanguard reports that the former senator disclosed that Saraki was being prosecuted because he became Senate president against the wishes of his party.
He said: “There are forces within the APC that are behind the plot to unseat Saraki as Senate president at all cost.
“The persecution of Saraki is based on his emergence as Senate president against the expectation and plan of a cabal in the APC. But majority of senators are committed and united to jettison the old order where the executive dictates to the leadership of the Senate.
“Any attempt to remove Saraki as Senate president will spell doom in the Senate with its attendant consequences on the political landscape of the nation.
“The APC should allow the current stability in the Senate to continue to reign while it takes measures to rescue Nigerians from the present harsh economic situation,” he said.
