APC insists on Deputy Senate President Ekweremadu's removal

APC says Deputy Senate president Ike Ekweremadu who is a member of PDP must be removed from office. Senator Ekweremadu who was also the deputy senate president in the last administration, was elected deputy senate president during the controversial senate leadership election on June 9th which produced Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President.

A member of the ruling party who spoke on condition of anonymity with Punch, said Ekweremadu serving as deputy senate president will adversely affect President Buhari's administration.

He also added that President Buhari has refused to see Senator Saraki and Hon Dogara since their emergence as Senate President and Speaker.
"As deputy senate leader, Ekweremadu is automatically the Chairman, Senate Committee on Constitution Amendment. This is a sensitive position that, statutorily, should not be held by the minority. Ekweremadu and his PDP co-travellers will hamper the policies of the Buhari government. By the virtue of Senate rules, a member of the minority is not supposed to be the deputy senate leader; so, he is occupying the post illegally. We know the body language of some of these elements to anti-corruption. Nigerians know the stance of Buhari on corruption and insecurity. These elements occupying positions in the National Assembly must be removed. Otherwise, this administration is dead on arrival. The President has refused to see Saraki and Dogara since they emerged as senate president and speaker respectively. Both Saraki and Dogara have done everything possible to see the President but he has shunned them because he is not happy about their conduct. You can see that the President has seen the Lawan group; this shows where his support lies” he said

If these senators know what is right for the goodwill of this country and the present government then they should do it and drop their personal and selfish interest. If minority cannot provide someone as a leader then he should be remover ASAP and lets move forward positively.

APC should put their house in order, else they'll only last four years in office.

Since this person spoke on anonymity I will also speak on anonymity.
Millions of Nigerians prayed for this CHANGE so if Ekweremadu being deputy Senate pres. is part of d change so be it. APC should calm down and get to work Nigerians are waiting.

Anonymous said...

Get used to seeing him. That is bipartisan politics which strenghtens democracy. Members of the house of senate should follow Buhari to the USA and ask them how the Democrats who are the ruling party are managing with the Republicans as majority in their house of assembly. Abi! we are copying them, let us do it to completion.

Can these people stop playing games with this government and get their acts together. I like the fact that Buhari isn't giving them the pleasure of contributing to their rancor. Cos then they'll have something to hold against him again. I actually think these are all orchestrated efforts to incapacitate Buhari and blame APC inefficiency.

They are even planning on pulling buhari down because he's gradually deviating from tinubu's devilish agenda.

These people will soon regret what they are doing. It is this power play that will divide Nigeria eventually as the Americans predicted. As GEJ conceded defeat, another evil genius somewhere is cooking up means to cause chaos.

Why can't APC be magnanimous?
What does the head of committee for constitutional amendment have to do with things? Can he amend a constitution that needs 3/4 majority to amend in the 2 chambers?

Using Buhari'a anti corruption stance as smokescreen everytime. So, no senator from APC is corrupt? And what evidence do they have that Ekweremadu is corrupt? Can they just accept defeat and wish the country well? Irritants.
This party of noisemakers can't last

Stop all these unnecessary and childish arguments. We are getting fed up of APC and their noise. Saraki, Dogara, Ekweremadu aim yourselves with prayers. Tinubu frog eye and his cohorts will do u no harm. You were voted in.

I don't agree wit dis statement "he is occupying the post illegally". For crying out loud, he was duely elected into d post, and dis should b respected by all in d red chamber.

These people should let sleeping dogs to lie.They do not have the 2/3 majority needed to remove him.Infact,they are even lucky that PDP did not turn the table even on Saraki's head by electing David Mark senate president on that fateful day.

So it was ok for Tambuwal to still be Speaker of house of Reps when he decamped to APC back then. APC folks insisted that he won't be removed even though they were minority then. Now they have sense to know that a PDP person shouldn't be Deputy Senate President. Hehehe hehe there is fire on the mountain

The actions or inactions of these bald-headed politicians, so far, is indicative of the fact, they have no feelings for the plight of the masses but only their permanent interests. What they are also not fully aware of is, the tide has changed, esp within the ranks of the young and restless voters in a social media age, who want fast and tangible developments in Naija by all competent hands, irrespective of party affiliations.
