Bukola Saraki, Senate president of Nigeria, on Saturday, August 25, affirmed that he was not losing sleep over plots to forcefully impeach him by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his defection from the party.
Saraki disclosed this to newsmen in Asaba, capital of Delta state after a closed door meeting with the state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.
He claimed that it was a lie that the Senate reconvene due to fear of him being impeached.
“I am not losing any sleep about impeachment, we have a country that a lot of Nigerians believe there must be rule of law, those who are talking about impeachment are engaging in cheap blackmail and I am not concerned about that.”
Speaking on why he defected from the All Progressives Congress, the Saraki said that:
“Our ideas and visions on what we expect in a democratic setting were not met in APC, hence we left.”
