Senate Blasts APC For Commenting On ‘Fabricated’ Reports About Plan To Impeach Buhari

Posted by Jay




The Senate on Thursday said it was surprised and disappointed that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership commented on “mere speculation and fabrication on a purported plan to impeach” President Muhammadu Buhari.

A statement by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, said the comments made by the National Secretary of the party, Mai Bala Buni was based on the falsehood being spread by SaharaReporters.

According to the Nation, Abdullahi added that the comment only accorded “credibility to a news item which members of the public had disregarded, knowing the reputation of the source”.

He added that they expected the party to at least explore all the options open to it to verify that piece of fabrication which was only the figment of the imagination of the writers and their sponsors.

“It should be clear to the APC leadership that if there is any truth to that story, it should have been credited to a particular Senator who was at the executive session.

“It is evident from our proceedings of yesterday that the Senate itself was shocked that such a fabrication which constitute a breach of the privileges of the Senators was published and that was why we mandated our committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to investigate the source and circumstances leading to the emergence of such a fabrication.” he said.

He then went on to assure the party that the Senate as an institution values the present democracy in Nigeria and would not do anything to jeopardize or weaken the system.
