Oshiomhole to Saraki: You’ll be impeached

National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomohle, has said that the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, can no longer hold on to his position, adding that he will be impeached according to the law.
Oshiomhole also revealed that his leadership of APC wills work hard to ensure that Saraki is defeated even in his senatorial election in Kwara come 2019 election.
Addressing a news conference yesterday in Abuja, in response to the earlier world press conference Saraki by addressed on Wednesday, Oshiomhole said even before Saraki defected to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his leadership of the Senate was designed to frustrate President Muhammadu Buhari’s efforts to turn around the fortune of the country.
The APC National Chairman, who insisted that Saraki must be impeached as Senate President, clearly stated that “Saraki’s time is over as Senate President.
“If he thinks that he will preempt the APC from having him impeached, he is deceiving himself.
I think that the time of Saraki is over, the way he has manipulated the politics of Kwara state, he failed to understand that the Nigerian project is far more complicated than being at the mercy of his own dynasty.
“He will not only be impeached, we will work hard to have him defeated as a senator in his own Senatorial zone come 2019 by the people of Kwara state who are fed up with Saraki.
“Go and check the results of the elections that made him a senator and you will find out that the President got more votes from Kwara central than Saraki got for himself.
So, he can’t claim that the vote the APC got from his Senatorial zone was because of him. “And that is why his decamping from APC is of no political consequences as far as electoral issues are concerned.
We tried to talk to him, not out of fear, but out of conviction that as a presiding officer, there are rules of engagement and we don’t want him to get so emotional as to affect those rules of engagements.” While giving instances Saraki has frustrated President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, Oshiomhole said: “So, when I said he has never put the interest of Nigeria first, I support this statement by reference to the deliberate delay of the budget and deliberate manipulation of the provisions in the budget in a way that will compromise the capacity of the government to address critical infrastructures.
“It is no longer a secret that as senate President, he tried to conspire with others to create a semblance of division within the ruling party having failed to truncate the convention, when they assembled a handful of people who were neither delegates nor contestants for any office at the convention to purported to have formed a political party.
There is nothing for me to add to the illegality of this action and the false foundation that Senator Saraki tried to leave than to adopt the well thought out presentation of Femi Falana.
