I am not losing sleep over impeachment plots – Saraki

Senate President 

Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has said he isn't losing sleep over plots and threats via the All Progressives Congress to impeach him.

Saraki stated that individuals who are drumming for his removal have cascaded to the use of “cheap blackmail” in preference to following the due system as enshrined in the constitution to remove him as Senate President.


The previous Kwara state governor spoke in Asaba, the Delta state Capital, after a closed-door meeting with Governor Ifeanyi Okowa at government residence on Saturday.

The meeting lasted for over 40 mins.

Saraki was accompanied by a few senators which include Dino Melaye and Peter Nwaoboshi, and it was the first time Saraki will be visiting Okowa at the government residence since his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress to the opposition Peoples Democratic party.

He dismisses insinuations that he had determined not to reconvene the national assembly to consider the budget of the independent national Electoral commission as a result of the plot to impeach him.

He said, “i'm not losing any sleep about impeachment. We have a country that a lot of Nigerians believed there need to be rule of law and people who're talking about impeachment are accomplishing cheap blackmail.  I'm now not concerned about that.”

The meeting which was attended by the Speaker of the Delta state house of assembly, chief Sheriff Oborevwori, the state chairman of the PDP, Olorogun Kingsley Esiso, is thought to be a continuation of Saraki’s 2019 presidential ambition.

Saraki, who had additionally visited different prominent Nigerians consisting of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and a former military President, Ibrahim Babangida, stated he determined to ditched the APC as it has executed poorly in the last three years and lack justice.
