The Nigerian Senate on Sunday said that any attempt to remove the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki from office will hit the rocks as members of the upper legislative chamber were solidly behind him.

The Senate spokesperson, Senator Sabi Abdullahi made this known while speaking with journalists over the weekend on the allegations made by Senator Isa Misau that a serving minister was spearheading a plot to oust the Senate President.

His words: “Nobody can remove Saraki. We elected him and we are not ready to remove him yet. From day one, they never wanted Saraki. What we are saying is that the right to choose a Senate President lies with senators and we have chosen our leader.

“From everything he has been doing as head of the National Assembly and as President of the Senate, he has provided stability. He has not only brought this to the National Assembly, but the entire country.

He added: “The true face of democracy is the parliament and since Saraki came in, we have not failed this democracy.”
