Senator Shehu Sani,
representing Kaduna-Central senatorial district, said that the impeachment of
the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, will deepen the crisis
rocking the National Assembly and impede the operations of the executive arm of
government.
Sani, who was elected on
the platform of the All Progressives Congress, said although he didn’t vote for
Ekweremadu, the plan to remove him was not the solution to the crisis rocking
the National Assembly.
The senator said this
during an interview with Sahara TV on Monday.
Sani said,
“We have to tell
ourselves the truth. We are in a difficult situation. The fact that we have a
deputy senate president from the PDP is a better alternative to the election of
a senate president from the PDP because we could have had that on June 9.
“If we remove Ekweremadu
and replace him with an APC senator, the PDP in the senate would be a potent
opposition that would continue to oppose anything that the executive arm
presents.
“Now that the APC
senators are not united, and when you have a PDP as a force to confront, that
would be an additional problem. Now, Ekweremadu is the subject matter.
Ekweremadu is being seen as representing a power equation in the sharing of
power in the country. Therefore, removing Ekweremadu will create more problems
than the solutions which we are saying it would create.
As the 8th Senate
resumes on July 28, Sani advised his colleagues to focus on providing good
governance to Nigerians.
